Bollywood in Motion

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Went to this "Bollywood in Motion" performance today - lots of fun. Here are a few snaps. Tried to capture motion, not sure if it works or not.

Any comments and critique are very welcome.

motion wise, the second one is probably captured the best. Usually if I want to capture motion, I tend to use rear curtain flash which is what I'm guessing you did for the 2nd pic.

Hi Wayne,

Yeah, rear curtain flash was used for all 3 images actually.

Thanks

it also helps if its darker
that way you can use a sower shutter speed

maybe get yourself a pair of ND 8 filters and use accordingly

good job though

moving things are very hard to capture

I saw this same group perform just before CHristmas, and they are very fast, high energy.

Very colorful pics.

The second and third have a strong shadow on the back wall, were you able to get good results bouncing of the white ceiling of the tent, or was it behind the performers?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks. No, tried bouncing it off the cieling - was too high to give bounce that would be of any use.

Yes, this group is very inergetic. There were a few togs there, most with Nikon DSLRs, quite surprisingly.
