[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Following on from yesterdays Thai Dancer, I thought I'd try a b/w version of a dancer in a slightly different outfit.

This was from the same show as the Fire Breathers. The dancers danced and the fire breathers, well - breathed fire :-)

There were drummers as well, you can probably guess what they did :-)

Shot in RAW, jpeg conversion, b/w conversion, resized, sharpened.

Hi Richard,
Great capture you've caught her pose quite well. Excellent choice for your DOF as it really makes her stand out. Was the structure flooded behind her? Anyways, great composition and exposure, well done!

i like the use of b/w here richard
you caught the form of the dancer very well
the contrast in tones and elements works very well for me :)

Hi Richard,

A fantastic capture, very sharp and crisp. Excellent dynamics, and a wise decision to go for B&W.

Well it doesn't quite have the finesse and beauty of yesterday's shot, but still great sharpness and good depth of field here Richard.

Excellent POV of the dancer's pose, it would've been easy to have her face blocked by a hand, but you timed it perfectly. The angle of light and the pattern of light and shadow is beautiful too.

Another one well done!

Good morning Richard

I like this image but not as much as the previous colour one. B/W does work well here but personally I miss the colour too much having seen the previous image. Any chance you can post the colour version to Workshop?

The POV lines and DOF are excellent but what colour is the jewellery and her clothing lol :-)

TFS regards Helen

Very nice compo. Lovely how you can see the face. Great light and b w is perfect here.
Well done

Mornin Richard
The side lighting and the B&W work well for this dancer. What long fingure nail. Nice composition and POV.

This is a great shot here kilted..
I know that it is challenging to properly expose such scenes but you have done well, with the exception of the lower portion of the image and the aft portion of the model.
I wouldn't mind being able to see some detail there like the colour version.
Nonetheless, a well captured moment and a fine image.

Hello Richard,

Beautiful B/W portrait of a dancer.
Great framing and wonderful shadows.
Nice, soft and subtle tones of the picture.
Very interesting and very moody composition. I like it very much!
Best,
Izabela

Hi Richard,
