These European Acrobats performed in our mall free of charge. They remind me of Cirque de Soliel. Stage Photography has always been a challenge for me because of the lighting and the moving subjects. Most of my shots here are in 800 or 1600 ISO setting. My camera is a 400D and my lens is a 17-40mm f/4 L.

Very nice. Nice capture of motion on "the wheel". Would have liked to see more motion in general but great job with freezing the action as well.

Thank you for your comment.

I saw a Chinese Acrobatic show like this as well. Those guys have to be pretty strong to pull off a lot of those stunts they do! Good shots Aly!

Some nice shots & crops.
I like the 2nd 'wheel' image.
First image looks OoF. Would have been nice otherwise.

Thanks! I saw this acrobatic show in Shanghai once and they pretty much have similar routines.

Especially this girl:

Here's another Wheel image with the perspective of the whole stage.
