A sunny Saturday afternoon in Levi Plaza, San Francisco, a DJ, a little West Coast Swing music...and some folks having themselves a great time...

My personal favorite is #4. Although I wish I could have captured the spirit of the guy in #1. He was a dancing fool!

I don't know what kind of lens you have, but the shots would've been better if you could've shot them at like f/2.8 or even lower to isolate the subjects more.

Good point and I should have done that. The lens was an EF 24-105 f4. f2.8 was not an option and for some reason that I can't recall, I had previously had the 5D set on Aperture priority f5.6.

In my defense, we were late in meeting someone at the Ferry Building, and happened on this dancing and I had to quickly take the shots as I was walking around the group that was dancing.
My wife was not real pleased (did I mention we were late?) about me slowing down and making us later by taking pictures. Fishing around in my gear bag for another lens, and then changing the lens, would have resulted in my premature departure from this earthly pale.
