Photographing Dancers, getting the shot.

Photographing dancers requires a sharp eye and often quick reflexes.

This was the third attempt to get this shot.

Generally I will try a number of shots but stop before the dancer tires, angles are critical and dancers are on the ball with the look they are after.

The first two attempts with this photograph were binned as Jordan in the blue was being thrown away rather than up.

Giving the guys this feed back I asked for Jordan to be thrown up more, this created an image with more height and less rotating energy, this is always for me going to be easier to make this picture.

This image is tighter than the previous two attempts and Jordan was higher too, the guys were well chuffed.
