as a photographer and dancer, I would love to know more about dealing with different settings, stage lights vs. sunlit outdoor festival, and also would have enjoyed a little more on timing and composition. familiarizing yourself with music and getting a feel for the moves helps to anticipate a sweet move, sultry glance, or big finish.
good article, but I hope to get a little more out of the next one.

I loved this tutorial – movement in dance or any type of sport is alot harder then it looks! I agree with Nick – I would love to see a tutorial that deals with outdoor sport in winter when there is low light! Some tips to shoot in any low lit conditions where flash’s are unable to be used would be great!!

I like the idea of panning with the subject, I picked some good ideas thank you. I have also found when shooting indoors at cheerleading competitions, using an f2.8 lens or faster gives the ability to shoot motion and brightens the colors of the uniforms. Thanks for the tips, I use them all.

It is a nice tutorial and there are some great example photos in this article, the forth is my favourite. For me shooting moving subjects is the most challenging and complicated in photography, so thanks for your tips.

Another interesting idea I’ve seen for these night events is creating a photo collage combining the movements into one view. I love #2 above, very romantic.

Thanks Bryant,

That was a very nice article. I particularly liked the first and second photos. Dance in general is one of the most difficult things I have ever shot, and social dance like you described is particularly tricky.

One of the main reasons your photos work is your success separating figure from ground. It can be the most interesting shot in the world, but if your subjects are visually too intermingled with the crowd around them then it’s all a chaotic mess. You used a couple different techniques above, and the all work well.

How about a tuturial in capturing motion during a athletic event whether indoors in an arena or outdoors?? And then if its outdoors how to capture a winter sport or a summer sport?
