My first post! So this is what I do.

I have created a digital collage tonight to break the ice on my first posting into the blog world. Yes, this is my first time so be gentle. And I do hope you will come back. I've already had a photography website on Zenfolio for a couple years and felt it was time to delve into blogging so that I can talk more about my art and what goes on behind it. So please enjoy and comments are welcome.

Alex #2


The original photo was taken by me at Egyptian Tea Room in May 2011 in San Diego. Alex was visiting from AZ and danced for the first time in a couple years with her partner Lauren. They formed the bellydance group Alioth Lotus back then.

The photo was taken in manual mode in available light at f1.8 ISO 1600 using a 50mm prime lens. White balance was set to Tungsten. I try not to use flash as my proximity to the dancer is pretty close and I don't want to blind them. Some say they don't mind but I have grown accustomed to shooting in low light situations.
