Description
I decided I wanted to give a print of a ballet dancer to a friend who graduated this year. Of course, to do that I needed to take photos of a ballet dancer. Luckily, I have a friend who just happens to be a ballerina, so I set up a shoot with her. It was a lot of fun; I got a couple good shots, and learned a lot. This print was somewhat tricky to get right. I'll probably try to further perfect it later on, even.

I think if I shoot with a dancer again, I'll want to do so in a dance studio; one with a wall completely covered in mirrors. That would be a lot of fun to play around with...

Print info:
f/5.6
Exposure 8 seconds
Contrast 2.5
Arista.EDU Ultra VC fiber 8x10

EDIT: This looks flat, I think because I had to scan the print... what I need to do is get lab scans of all my negatives...
