Here are some updated crops based on MSL's suggestions, they are heaps better in my opinion.
The girl on the floor unfortunately had her foot blocked by another dancer but removing the clutter on the right def helps.
Using a 8x10 crop format the group shot helps remove some of the distractions.
The portrait crop on the first shot is way more attractive.
Thanks MSL! This was a good learning experience. |

Thanks for the tips. I do try to stick to the out of camera aspect ratio but as in that group shot it does not always work. I'm a bit afraid to use non standard crops because I am unfamiliar with them but I also did not like the trash can and the guy drinking the soda in the back.
That shot in particular was rushed and unplanned as there was a break in the action and I saw them waiting to go on so I asked them to get together for a shot. i didnt notice the can or the background until I uploaded at home. I definitely need to become more aware of the entire frame vs just my central subject.I hope I learn to do that as time goes on.
For that shot I had just switched to a Tamron 28-75 and didn't realize it was back focusing on me until a few shots later when I was reviewing. I have been using it on another body where it needs no adjustment :(
Good catch.
I'm hoping with time my ability to anticipate and adapt quickly will improve.

Thanks MSL I definitely welcome tips and suggestions as I am very new to all this. I always learn from hearing from those with more experience and different perspective.

These are a few shots of dancers from the latest competition I provided sound for.
I tried to incorporate suggestions made on the last set by varying some of the angles and isolating the members of teams using a more shallow aperture.
Also was a little more aggressive in the PP this time than last, but not sure if I am 'there' yet.
Some jumps and such are in the 'K-5 for sports' thread or you can see the whole set here: Troy Red Hot Dance Challenge 2013 Photos by crewl1 | Photobucket |
