This weekend was mostly about chores and errands and setting up my new computer... But I did have an unusual shooting opportunity, my friend Mark (of Virtuous Photography) is not only the father of two girls in the dance troupe, but their "(un)official" photographer as well. (His daughter is the smaller girl all in white.) He invited me along to shoot their performance as part of the "Haunted Fairgrounds" Halloween festivities For most of the evening I was able to set up with my tripod straddling the corner of the stage, right in the thick of the action.

The shoot was challenging because of the low light, but fun and interesting too, because I've never done anything quite like this before. Because the performance was repeated, I could start to anticipate events and plan my shots as well as experiment with different settings.

There's more coming from this shoot, but it's Monday and that means I need to get on my housework and chores...
