Living in London sucks on many levels, but it has given me an opportunity to get into dance photography, which is something I was wanting to do for a long time.

…t has given me an opportunity to get into dance photography, which is something I was wanting to do for a long time.

Longer exposures and/or tracking and not jamming the subject into the frame will be more likely to give the sense of motion required to prevent it looking like you’re photographing contortionists.

Critique welcome – I’m still learning what I like myself.
These are both on a Fuji X-E1 with the kit lens (XC 16-50) more or less in point and shoot mode. Some cropping afterwards…

I was pleased with this snap:

Critique welcome –

It’s interseting light, looks almost like it was taken during a partial eclipse so it has that low light but not dusk feel to it that is so unique to an eclpise.

You’ve got an odd bokeh ball effect in the image, almost as if it’s lens flare but it could be a specular highlight from a drop of moisture on the filter? Your sensor also has dust on it; there’s a spot in the top left area that’s quite visible.

If you loped the top fifth to quarter off the top you’d remove both artefacts and generally improve the balance perhaps?

@geetee1972 Thanks – appreciate the thoughts. All useful stuff to think about.
I think it’s lens flare (mid afternoon, pointing South West), and I see what you mean about the splodge. I couldn’t see it on other pics, so hopefully it’s on the filter not the sensor.

It will almost certainly be on the sensor rather than the front element of the lens. You can get away with a lot on the front element of a lens and it not cause a problem; but that mark definitely looks like dust on the sensor. You only ever see it when you stop the lens down, say beyond f/11, which is what you probably did for this landscape shot. The bigger the depth of field, the more likely you are to see the mark.

Have you got a ‘blower’ (for your camera I mean). They’re cheap and usually get rid of the problem:

Nice shots Trailofdestruction.

Not sure what happened to the original image above.

Having had a look you were right enough – puffer ordered. Thanks.
