Challenge: Extreme Emotion: Faceless (Basic Editing)
Camera: Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D
Lens: Konica Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5
Location: Summer Camp in Pennsylvania
Date: Jul 21, 2007
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/20
Date Uploaded: Jul 23, 2007

 The dancers at this summer camp performace of the Advanced Hip Hop dance class were doing their best to express extreme emotion. This image at best captures extreme motion. I think its fun but as a photography challenge entry, anything above a 3 will be considered as a kindness. Its simply too blurry.

The lens is actually newly acquired used Konica Minolta 135 mm f2.8. My personal challenge is to develop technique to capture reasonable images of theatrical events with available light.

wow. This is Cubism, probably the most perfect evocation of Cubism in a photograph that I've ever seen.

Wow! What a jumble!! Certainly depicts a lot of activity, but I think it might be a little much to look at....my eye isn't sure where to settle.

Lots of energy, but is that the same as emotion?

Well, no one subject's face is clearly the focus, but it's hard to see or infer the emotion.

IMO the front image is just a little too blurred to give the shot meaning but a good attempt
