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.

My pictures:

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.

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:
