Yesterday was my first time taking photos of people dancing on stage.I just used one of my customised settings-mainly to shoot people like in the street photography.I was wrong.There were so many beautiful dancing movements and moments that I failed to catch.I just took photos from where we were seated-too shy to get up and more around the stage like the professional photographers.
Lesson #1: This is action photography,not street/still photography. Changing scene all the time.Shoot on continous mode and auto focus tracking,which I did not do.
Lesson #2:Look for interesting and contrasting colours.
Lesson #3: Watch the spot light/lighting movement on the stage.
Lesson #4: Look for individuals and group action.
Lesson #5:Select the background.The stage remains the same but the light changes.
