Just after I mentioned you only use one lens you switch up on me. Nice effort, a very tricky shot; some blur in the hands but it seems to work. Were you bracing yourself against anything to use such a slow shutter speed? Nice capture of the atmosphere.

Hi John !!

Thanks for your comment. I was sitting quite from the stage so i was forced to use zoom lens .

The blur in hands is intentional that too I have tried to freeze the rest body part, especially face so that it doesn't look like a statue. I have some other shots too, where the whole body is sharp.

I am not sure whether I succeeded in doing that or not.

Tejal,

The sharpness is reasonable, would like to see others.

Yes... not that sharp.

Those fingernails are wicked in the first, nicely done. Do you have any information on the performance piece?

I am not clear whether any of these shots work or not.

it is the Alcazar Cabaret Show Pattaya, thailand. Show was quite good.

I would be a little bit wary of cropping the first image. The shutter speed of 1/8th second is quite a slow slow shutter speed, especially at the 100mm focal length you have used in this shot. Even with image stabilization, you are pushing the bounds of sharpness in this image. I would be tempted to crop the top and sides a touch on the first one, but not much more. There is plenty of negative space in the image so removing some of it to cut that down would work.

I'm not sure if I would do that though. The major issue would be that this will cut down on the spotlights coming in from the top, and these are an important element of the image. I would probably leave it the way you have cropped it.


The other two images definitely need some of the material removed from the top. I would probably try a vertical / portrait orientation on both of these and crop right down. Your shutter speeds are high enough that these two are probably sharp enough for a more aggressive treatment.

Considering lighting and shutter speed it's a fantastic bit of work. A very well done.

Great work Tejal I think I would leave them as they are because the lights are important parts of the compositions. May be just a bit of crop from the top in #2 would look good.

Nice work... When I first saw this, I asked myself, "is she real or a statue?"

Thank you Manfred for your valuable input.

Thank you Richard . Yeah thats the reason in 1st shot I have tried to show her hands in motion. I dont know it worked or not.

Thank you Binnur for your input.
