June Challenge: Crop Your Photo… Entry #3 Little Ballerina

Marylin has been busy with dance photos of her grandniece…

“I chose to crop the original picture because both dancers were supposed to be
synchronized as a duo.  And, unfortunately they were not when I took the
shot.  On top of that, Marizel is my grandniece and I am partial to her
beautiful dancing moves.  As I have mentioned to you before, I use Marizel as
my ‘photography model’.   I point the camera at her and she just moves
naturally without having to give her any instructions.   She just turned 6
last Saturday, the day of the dance recital, and she has been dancing since
she was 3 years old.  A very proud grandaunt here!

By the way, I was sitting close to the back of the theater and I was using
an 80-400 lens with a tripod.  I was able to take some awesome action
pictures of the older and experienced dancers so it was a great photography
shooting practice for me.  It is extremely hard to work with the lighting in
a theater and the action that goes on around the stage.  But again, a great
experience for a professional photographer wannabe.” 🙂
