Photo of the Week for December 7th to December 13th

Always trying new things is what makes you a better photographer. This past week I was hired to handle a small Dance Recital at a High School for their yearbook. I have shot dance competitions but this is a little different. I shoot a lot of different schools and different things, but this was fun and interesting. Been to a few recitals myself as my sister-in-law dances, although never to one with such horrible lighting! I knew going in it wasn’t going to best lighting as I have shot a few other events in the auditorium it was held. Anyways it was fun and hopefully I’ll be able to do a few more recitals in the near future. For those of you that don’t know about ISO, it is the film speed in a camera, ie 100,200,400,800, that you might have seen on film not too long ago. My D700 has a native 100-6400 iso capability, with it being able to push to 25600. As you can see in some of these images I went over the native capability.

On to the photo of the week.

Here are a few more from the evening. All in all it was a fun time. Plan on doing a few more events like this in the near future.

Have a busy week this week with swimming, hockey, basketball, and indoor track, so look for some interesting shots next week!!!
