Dance and theater photography

Hi,

Pleased to inform that I put my new dance pictures on the Internet :
http://tsubaki.free.fr/professionnels.

There are also some dance and theater pics visible at
http://tsubaki.free.fr/jtc2005 .

Eric.

Eric,

These are great photos. However, I'm interested in how these were
taken? I take it it must have been with a digital. What make and model?
Flash or no flash? Type of lens? Aperture, etc?

Cheers,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

To answer as accuerately as possible :

1) Digital photo
2) Lens : mostly 85 mm/f 1.2 or 50 mm f/1.4, both fix focus of course
3) On tsubaki.free.fr/professionnal (dance) this is an canon eos 10d and on
tsubaki.free.fr/jtc2005, this is an canon eos 5d
4) I work in manual mode, and roughtly 3 or 4 speeds : 1/25th, 1/80th,
1/160th and 1/200th. Aperture varies from 1.4 to 3.5 or 4 max.
5) No flash of course.

Thank your for your interest in my images and techniques.

Best regards,

Eric.

Thanks for posting that, really amazing photos! You are
very lucky to have the opportunity to take these
photos, and you have done that very well!

Eric,
many great shots to be sure, nice work.

Wondered if you shot all of them handheld or used a mono pod
or tripod?

Also did take most of these shots in single frame mode or
multi & picked the best timed shot(s)?

If you did these in single frame mode than you have just
raised my timing bar considerably. Ether way, great work & thank you
for sharing them with us. It's nice to see what other's have done &
know what they used to do it in terms of equipment. Equipment can be
duplicated but skill requires a lot of practice, & talent 1 either has
or does not.

Respectfully, DHB

Hopelessly addicted to digital photography's cost to benefit
ratio!

or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918

Thank you.

My pics are shot most of the time handheld. The 85 mm and the EOS 5D are
both heavy, thus stable.
I never use multi frames mode because this is the best way to miss all
interesting shots. Only single frame.
One important thing to consider : I only show my good pics on the Internet.
I also have bad ones.

Nice stuff. I do some similar work with belly dancers.
(www.carlmillerphotos.photoreflect.com and see Yasmine's Winter
Recital.)

What ISO do you shoot at? Is the noise level a lot better on the 5D than
the 10D? (I'm using a 10D myself.)

Thanks!

Hi,

Must be difficult to shoot belly dance. Never shot that much (except :
http://tsubaki.free.fr/dancebulk/5.htm and
http://tsubaki.free.fr/dancebulk/6.htm ).

as for the Iso I try to be as low as possble, namely 800 iso. With the 10d,
almost always impossible to go up 1600 is and if I did, I had to clean with
Neat Image software. with the 5d, no problem at all. clean pictures and neat
pics at 1600 iso. however, the lower iso the better.
http://tsubaki.free.fr/ejara are hip hop pics done in difficult light
conditions at 1600 iso. The result is incredible. In one word, no
comparision (I used to have a 10d)
