Nikon D600. 50mm at F1.8, 80th of a second. ISO 6400.
So thought I would feature a dance photograph for my musing today. This is the gorgeous Amelia who was at the wedding of Catherine and Mark who got married at the beautiful Ashton Lodge. I really like this shot as the colours are just fabulous, Amelia’s expression is so “in the moment” and I think it just evokes a feeling of fun and joie de vivre.
I mentioned in a previous musing about using flash on dance shots and how often this can lead to the flash totally overpowering the beautiful ambient light and so you end up with a photograph totally devoid of any atmosphere. This shot demonstrates the capability of Nikons D600 where I’ve had to really push the cameras ISO (making the sensor more sensitive to light) so I could still get a well exposed photograph even though it was a fairly dark reception room. I’m really proud of my wedding reception shots as I believe they capture the atmosphere of a party brilliantly. You can see some more examples here.

Fabulous, you’ve captured the colours and party brilliantly!
Cracking shot Damian, it’s a damn fine camera/lens combo.
