Sophomore year HS, 2007, a studio shot, using the lighting setup of the studio photographer, almost made it to easy to take. Lol. I was very proud of this pose we figured out.

I converted a fair number to BW and my favorite dance image of all time I ever took was a B&W one with a d200 body back in 07. https://wadedowdy.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p589580573-5.jpg

Wow. Hard to argue with your pick.

Thanks Karen, background mirroring positioning is something I try to do, and floor reflections, not always possible, but I try.

This theatre had a non reflective floor which caused me some consternation, and did not allow me to get any images in my trademark reflection style.

Thanks Karen the first color shot is probably my favorite color dance image, took that 5 years ago at Ball State University, this dancer had some unique poses during my daughters choreography: https://wadedowdy.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p451166349-6.jpg

The floor reflection is truly wonderful! It's such a pleasure to see some of your images! You've been holding out on us! LOL!

Well thanks Terri, during February, while driving up in the blizzard, I was wishing she had gone to North Carolina instead. Lol.

Well actually, I have not taken many images until Feb! Been a dry spell. A lot of the others were posted way way back in the day, and I also had to be careful about having releases since sometimes minors were involved and also pay was changing hands. Every little dance lady or gent on my home page I have releases for using their images.
