Description

A performance by students from The Philadelphia High School for Creative & Performing Arts at MLK Day of Service in 2013. This has been reworked with new tools this week. Lighting was much less than optimal and I had the wrong lens on my 5DMIII and had to use the MII to capture this performance.

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 640, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 70.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

You have captured a wonderful moment in time Michelle! This image looks like it could have been posed like this! #11258982

I love the depth of field here. We enjoy the larger recital, as we would were we in the audience, but focus on the single dancer especially--again as we would as viewers there. #11259136

10+ This is so graceful. By sharpening the star and softening the background makes it even more powerful. #11259141
