Zumba for the Cure

[JAC526]

So I shot my Mom's Zumba for the Cure event tonight. First off, wow is event shooting hard. I learned some lessons.

1st the rental for the 70-200 2.8 totally paid off. The f4 would of been useless.

2nd I learned that when the lighting sucks you just have to jack the ISO. I was worried about noise when I should of been worried about sharpness. It seems so much easier to deal with noise in post then sharpness. I had to toss a lot of shots b/c they just aren't sharp. So overall I'm not too happy about that. But you live and learn. Next time I'll do it differently.

Here are a few of the shots I've retouched. I took about 500 images in the span of 2 hours so I got a lot to go through.

I like this shot the most I think. Good action and decent technical quality.

This lady jammed all night and I though she was really expressive.

Hey Joe, I think you did a great job. I can't really find any flaws in what you presented here.

Really? Thanks, maybe I looked at them for too long.

Diggin' the composition on all of these...DoF too. Curious about the hue of the skin on #3 (crazy lady)...probably just the combination of flourescent lighting above and the reflection off the floor below...she just looks a touch green to me somehow. I'm probably just crazy myself, though. Great shots!

No I think you are right. She does look a little funny. Going to have to mess with it some more.
