Leica M9, 90mm F/2.8, f/4, 1/4th, iso 2500
One of the many unique experiences we had in Cuba was going to a ballet rehearsal. This was not common and we had to talk (bribe) our way in. Once we did get in we were frustrated that they wouldn't turn on the spotlights for us. It was just dim.
And we were behind an orchestra pit. This was made for cameras with great high ISO capability, and a long fast telephoto. Neither of which I had. So mostly I just watched the dancers, which was entertaining.
Then a few times we had some light. Not enough for me to stop a dancer in mid air though. So I resorted to my trick of trying to make something artful. Make something out of a circumstance not well suited for my camera kit at that moment.
I rather like it! BTW, this is nearly a SOOC shot, just a bit of curves.
