Re: On Reflection
Nicely captured...This one will inspire several of my dance/photography students to really work at making such a shot happen...would love a share of "how I did it."

Re: On Reflection
thanks jiro, Chris it was basically took in a dance studio, shot with a nikon D200,nikkor 12-24mm superwide angle lens,the lighting was fluorescent strip lighting,
i wanted a jump that would include the reflection in the mirrors, the idea behind the wide angle was so i could crop to put dancer/reflection on seperate thirds to improve composition, plus i love the distortion from it,
i cannot find the original raw file at the mo but i presume i might have used the blur tool in PS to quieten down the distracting background, the lens was F4.5 and i chose the shutter speed of 1/10th to give a good deal of motion blur, i oversharpened the dress and hair in post production, the shot was handheld from below to give a greater sense of height to the jump, the dancer was a pro and truly amazing,
lastly i would add that its all trial and error, experimenting with slow shutter speeds gives some dramatic results and a lot of duff ones, hope this helps and if you want anymore info please dont hesitate to ask, cheers martyn
