Belly Dancer - impressionistic ?

[Jim A]

I took this some time ago at the Auckland Museum. It was during a period when the different customs and food of other ethnicities were being highlighted. The belly dancer was very much in movement.

Great capture. I wanted to get a shot like this during my visit to Istanbul but, I didn't give us enough time there to shoot everything I wanted.

How about a slight vignette on this image???



What I really wanted to get was a slow shutter speed shot of a Sufi Dancer (Whirling Dervish) but, didn't have a chance to get that shot either. My wife doesn't like going out at night in foreign cities.

Great shot, Jim. I think that really captures the moment. Could you clone out the people lower right?

[Shadowman]

Nicely captured.

Fantastic image and movement. Think you captured the spirit of the dance.

The image i see is a guy in a kitchen cooking a chicken. Tinypics strikes again.

Jim that is an excellent image - a balance between slow shutter good resolution and composition. Kudos!

Like that. Just enough static content to set the scene.
