I photograph mostly dances, from classical ballet to modern dance programs. The shoot is always done during dress rehearsal. No flashes or additional lights are allowed for two reasons: first, its distracts the dancers; second, the lighting team is usually doing a final check on the lighting levels and effects.(posted 9270 days ago)My spot readings may be off for two reasons: the black outfit was a shiny one; I am using a in-camera 5 degree meter for speed. I am also shooting with a ball head on tripod. The blurs are indeed motion blurs and not camera shake since I can see from the negatives that the image is sharp except for some hand or foot movements.
While I am doing my own printing, I am sending the films out for processing at a local pro lab. They told me that they are using Tmax developer. Do you think that might be the problem?
