The international teachers at our university teach world dance to the students. This was a Backstage shot I particularly liked.
C & C appreciated.

I am desperately fighting the idea that I cannot handhold a 70200. I refuse to admit that age is a factor How about a monopod...or am I just kidding myself?

Well, there is motion in some parts of the shot. But that's mainly the lovers (?) in the dress. Main problem seems to be that focus is on the back of the head...
I think a monopod would help a bit with the motion. Not with the focus though ;)

That's the trouble with youse guys: you see straight through my excuses. The background colors were other costumed performers moving about backstage. One of the reasons I keep coming back here is that your comments force the likes of me to push harder to improve technical skills. Thanks for that.
