Ha, lol......... I don't use a flash for fur of feather's, I have never liked the way it looks. I just might hold a raffle and take someone with me sometime lol

I've been going over some of the stuff from the last while. I know I posted one like this back awhile ago but this one the kit is looking off to the side and Im not sure what I like better, straight at me of off to the side.

Jeff,
I just checked, you are only a 10 1/2 hour drive from
the Chicago area: -) tempting, but too much for a weekend.

Had this large air creature fly by at lunch. Thankfully, it was flying at my preferred ability to catch something in flight. It is in town for a race a little east of here this weekend. literally SOOC. I don't have any editing software here at work.

Yes I have done the stretch before and Chicago is a bit of a drive. I know there have been many that have wanted to come for a shoot. I may have to seriously take a look at that.

How far from Peterborough?

7D II + Canon 10-18mm at ISO 10,000 at a hip-hop dance battle. I was primarily shooting with my 7Dc + Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, but when I saw this guy goin' ham, I was quick to reach for my 7D II on the floor in front of me (I was sitting on the floor), tilt the camera back towards me, aiming up, and rattle off a few frames and 10 FPS. Quite honestly.. I got really lucky with this one. I would love some feedback/constructive criticism though - let me hear it!

Fantastic shot. ISO 10,000? That's the kind of grain we used to get with ASA 800 film.

Hey - thank you! Yes, ISO 10,000. I had no choice because this lens is not the fastest. Minimum aperture of f/4.5 which I'm pretty sure I was shooting at, at the time. And a shutter speed of 1/500 (I'm guessing. I'm at work; can't see EXIF right now).

I'm about an hour from Peterborough. Ryan I remember this image from a few months ago

Yup. I was just hoping to get some CC as I'm contemplating putting it up on my website. I'm considering going B+W with it. What do you think?

10,000 ISO. Insane. I generally avoid going over 1600 ISO, maybe 3200 ISO in a pinch, on my 7D. I need this camera.

My son and family live in Peterborough, and I visit there a couple times a year.

interesting,...I converse with a photographer out your way with the last name Kelly. You may know him??

I live in Peterborough too..... UK! Bit longer drive for me

i like the photo a lot. Not sure if you processed it for higher contrast, but the grittyness (grain) and the higher contrast (darker darks) add to it. I would consider processing the dancers face a bit to raise the shadows and let us see his face. I think you can post both versions on your website, color and B&W. Wouldn't mind seeing the reprocessed version.
