[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 600676, member: 13090"] I know a little something about shooting dancers and I can tell you from experience... it's not easy. Most of the time I'm not allowed to use flash, definitely not when shooting a recital so, bearing that in mind, my suggestions (without knowing the specifics of what kind of dancers you're shooting (e.g. ballet, hip-hop, ballroom)) are as follows: 1. Use Aperture Priority mode or shoot in Manual. 2. Shoot at the widest aperture possible (e.g. f/2.8; (fast glass is a huge advantage)). 3. Use a fast shutter speed (generally speaking I find 1/250 the [I]bare minimum[/I]). 4. Use as high an ISO as required to get a blur-free shot. 5. Be prepared to correct noise during post processing, or learn to live with it. Also, you might want to learn to use motion blur creatively. It can be a beautiful thing when done right.
