Today was, unfortunately, the last day of the festival. Bex
and I once again where going around taking photos of all the events and of
people generally enjoying themselves. This photo was taken at one of the indoor
stages, a dance group had just started one of their routines and they invited
the public to join them.
To capture the atmosphere of the dance I took the photo
while they were mid-dance; I also used the flash gun to ensure that eyes were
not in shadow and so I could freeze the dancer in the pose I wanted. The dancers
were really enjoying themselves and I was trying to portray this in the photo
that I was taking, I think I did this and captured the atmosphere of all the
other people having a great time.
I didn’t edit the photo because the exposure was correct;
and the photo portrayed the atmosphere of the dance, so I decided against
cropping the photo down. Also because I used the flash gun I could set the
white balance to daylight and not worry about needing to change the colour
balance afterwards.
This weekend was a huge amount of fun, I’m so glad I went
with Bex. We both had a great time and took lots of photos; so we should have
plenty of photos to upload for you to see.
