Alex's "The Thing" 2009 : I've been to Alex's "The Thing" a few times and each time it is a bit different.  This time I felt t more in the mood to photograph then to dance so I found myself trying to capture something different than before.  I grabbed a few "night shots" (more details later) with some flash units until one of the dancers complained and I tried to capture some of the fun of the Chacarera (probably at the expense of Alex's wonderful dance).  Thanks Alex for  being a good sport about it.  :)

I played with "extremes".  From ultra wide (Nikkor 14mm-24mm f2.8), then with the telephoto using the Nikkor 300mm f2.8.  Low light with the Nikkor 85mm f1.4 and depth of field with the lens baby.  The flash shots involved two SB800 flashes, one remote and one mounted on my Nikon D3.    Honestly I hate flash photography in milongas because it's always difficult to capture the color and mood with a "daylight" flash.  So this time I put a warming gel on the flash to try and keep the warmth of the room.  I wasn't able to play with it much because of how disruptive a flash can be.  I was told afterwards that flashes weren't allowed.. DOH!

Portland Tangofestival 2008 : Views of the Portland Tango Festival 2008.  

It's been a couple years since I've been to the Portland Tango Festival.  When I first started to get back into photography (now digital) there were still some challenges with low light and high speed.  However, Nikon decided to come out with a new camera (D3) that addresses both the problems of quality, low light and high speed.  Having been frustrated in the past with the lighting at Milongas I figured it was time to see what the new Nikon can do.  After looking at some of the images I can say that I'm honestly happy with the results.  

So this is the results of me playing with my camera gear, the available light (no flash was ever used) and the Tango dancers at the festivals.  Some of you I know and many of you I don't.  I hope you enjoy the images as much as I have enjoyed creating them.  

NOTE:  Clay just sent out a link so I guess I should post up the images from the grand ball. Check back in a day or so if you don't see them.
