This photo was shot at The Rails, in Byron Bay, Northern NSW, Australia. I do alot of work with Jimmy Willing an The Real Gone Hick-Ups, who also does alot of work with burlesque queens and dancing girls. This was a fun capture from a Melbourne cup day event, always lots of fun, always surrounded by beautiful women, and the best music that absolutley any one and everyone can have a boogie too. In this image I was really just trying to capture the fun vibe and spirit that was so prevalent.Time
This photo was taken in the afternoon, either just before or just after the main race.Lighting
All natural light, skylight in roof above dancer, no flash, no reclectors, wysiwygEquipment
Canon 1100d, no flash no tripod, probably a 35-55mm kit lens?Inspiration
I really wanted to be able to capture the vibe of happiness and fun that was everywhere at this event.Editing
Played with processing in photoshop, added a desaturation vingette around the edges to draw attention to the dancer.In my camera bag
Nowadays, i have my two camera bodies, a multitude of lenses, all my cleaning bits and bobs, my tripods, reflectors and at the moment two speedlightsFeedback
When in doubt, compose, focus and take the photos anyway!!!
