In conjunction with the Australia Council for the arts and myself
i did some reportage on Australia's involvement in Venice Biennale in Italy

shot some of these with slow shutterspeed effects because the light was just too low for the camera to handle









some more

Wow, another display of your genius.

The slow shutter really works to make these images even more dramatic and capturing the essence of the dance.

#1 is my favourite...it just works!
#2 love the rays of light that spill past the guy
#3 the weak link for me
#4 simply spectacular!

#3 is absolutely brilliant!!

Well they are all brilliant actually.

Was the camera on a tripod for the first?

thankyou guys

for the first i didnt use a tipod i had the 200-400 on a monopod with VR so i could pan in low shutterpeeds
the VR really helps with this effect

Thanks for the info Wendell.

I like the effects that you've managed to capture in-camera, it looks like you used flash and enabled 2nd curtain sync? However I'm sure you didn't since it was a live show, so how was it achieved esp. the zoomed one?

hi ron

i didnt use any flash
the reason why the image looks in definition even though there is some panning and zooming going on
is because at the particular moment im capturing the image the dancer/s are static

and im using vr and a monopod so it helps

That third image is f'ing fantastic...

that is probably the best example of an exposed zoom i have ever seen..

Loving number 1 and 2 the most

Wow, bow, wow! I like them all, but my eyes keep
going back to the second for its simplicity an impact.
I hope some day I will grow up to take photos like these!
