Thanks to everyone that has visited the website to view last weekend’s Arthur Murray Spring Freestyles photos! I have received all the orders so far and am working on getting them looking good before going to the lab. Please let your friends know about the photos being ready to view if they haven’t seen them yet! Here are some of my favorites from the Chevy Chase studio’s professional showcase from Freestyles. You can view these and all the other photos from the weekend at the proofing website:

As can be seen in the photos, Austin has a presence while dancing to involve the crowd. Since he has dance so many of these shows, he knows how to put on a show for the audience. From behind the camera, I appreciated the coordination of his shirt with her dress. Because I have been putting photo collages together, I automatically know what color to highlight with them! Additionally, there was some variation in the lighting of these photos.

This variation comes from the signal for the lights to flash. In some cases the back light did not fire creating a much different image. With a darker background, the dancers really pop out of the frame. Obviously, the light is hitting them directly while leaving the rest of the frame dark. This can result when I trip the camera shutter too quick for the light. Or the signal from the remote does not reach all the way across the room!

Spring Freestyles editing

The photos are coming along nicely from last weekend’s Spring Freestyles. I am still editing and am coming across some cool images! There are some new things that I have not seen or noticed in ballroom dance photos previously. I’ll write about it more in a future blog post, but for now, I must get back to Lightroom! Photos will be uploaded to the proofing site by this Saturday-

Now that I am home from the event, I am thankful for the help last weekend! To cover these is a big job requiring a lot of stamina from photographers. Although it can be one of the best assignments with all of the great music, and the enthusiastic energy in the ballroom. Have you ever attended these events previously? I would like to receive some feedback on my photos and how they capture the event. Obviously I think they do capture the dancing well, but does it relate to a larger audience at all? Since I am embedded in all of these, I don’t know how they would come off to someone that was not there. Or to someone that is unfamiliar with the dance scene in our area.

Just a quick note today that the DC Area Arthur Murray Fall Freestyles photos from September 28 – 28, 2012 are expiring on the proofing website on Monday, March 4, 2013. This will be the last chance to view these on the website. It is an extra charge in order to find your photos at a later date, but it is possible to get them out of the electronic archive. To view the photos, they are still available on the website here:

The next Arthur Murray dance event that we will be covering will be their 2013 Spring Freestyles held March 22 – 23, 2013 at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. Please leave me some feedback on the photos if you have viewed them. It helps us to adjust how we cover these events. Generally we have an idea of what we think looks good. Additionally, we put our photographers in a good position to get the best angles while being out of the way of the audience. However, we always look to improve. Especially since we cover so many of the events in the DC area, and we are familiar with so many of the staff, we want to contribute to their great events!
