Stuff<\/h3>\n

I finally got my 2014 tax info off to the accountant. And I am almost done with the National Trust Memberships for the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. I thought that that ordeal was complete but I got an e-mail on Friday morning that my credit card did not go through so I need to call them back….<\/p>\n

This blog post, the 162nd in a row, took nearly three hours to prepare was published a bit after 8:00am on Friday June 19. I was simply too tired last night to finish it.<\/p>\n

The Interactive Blog…<\/h3>\n

There are lots of questions in this blog post. All photographers can learn a ton, even those who will never ever photograph a dance recital. The more folks who leave a comment the more everyone will learn, especially with regards to the exposure questions. <\/p>\n

Used Photography Gear<\/h3>\n

Steve Torna’s Canon EF 400mm f\/5.6L USM Lens and his EF Extender 1.4X II (Teleconverter) sold for the full asking price in one day. Though the shelves are nearly bare right now there are still a few great items left at fair prices. See the complete listings here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was created at the Hanken School of Dance Recital in Frostproof, FL on June 13 with the hand held Canon EF 70-200mm f\/2.8L IS II USM lens<\/a> (at 125mm) and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.<\/a> ISO 800. Evaluative metering -1\/3 stop: 1\/640 sec. at f\/2.8 in Av Mode. <\/p>\n

Three AF points up from the center AF point\/One Shot\/Rear Focus Spot AF as framed was active at the moment of exposure (as is always best when hand holding). The active AF point was on Maya’s right shoulder. Click here<\/a> to see the latest version of the Rear Focus Tutorial. Click on the image to see a larger version. <\/p>\n
