My experience in shooting blurs as you seem to >be trying here I've found 1/4 of a second works pretty well. Funny you should say that...I actually did shoot these in color...the original, uncorrected scans are here: http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/choreo/current2006/pages/MP_00870006adj.html http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/choreo/current2006/pages/1a_0007_19A.html I didn't think the color added much...I'm curious whether you agree. >But shooting any kind of dancing motion or motion as such, is difficult >and much by trial and error, shooting lots and lots again is paramount >because you never know how good, bad or ugly it'll be until the film is >souped. But you know that already. Right? ;-) Yes, indeed, I do know that...it's even more true with these little pinhole cameras I've been making out of matchboxes...there's some serious variability in the production! >The third picture? :-) > >Well what can be said about a fine young lad like this sitting up all >alone! Good for him! :-) Nice to see him updated every once in awhile. Exactly...this type of shot should not be over-interpreted! :) Best, Aaron
