Belly Dancer Goodness..

DI-Joe

So my fall project is a Belly Dance promotion. I for one am a huge fan of belly dancing and thought it appropriate to make it the focus of my fall promotions..

here are just a couple of the pics from Saturday night, some of my fav's.















That's all for now, I still have 1300 some-odd photos to go through. I was fighting dynamic lighting that I had no control over and camera noise was pretty bad but here's a hint: CS4's ACR noise reduction got good, REALLY good, combine that with Noiseware and it's fantastic if you can stand some softening of the edges. Fortunately for me this particular subject and mood facilitated softening. It was some college kid in charge of the lights and she was sort of asleep at the wheel, it was really dark... lol

Cool stuff!
I like what you were doing with the creative lighting in some of these, nice and artsy.

What fun! Clone out the door on #3, and that one is a serious winner - I like them all a lot, but while the others are great for artistic effect, hat one is really clear to let people see the dancer and details of her costume, and line. Great expression on her face, too!

Great series!

I like the implied motion in #2.

I love the motion and lighting in these pics! Very artistic and flattering to the dancers.

Thank you all very much for your kind words. So far the dancers are absolutely drooling for me to finish the set.
