A continuation of the sequences theme from a few weeks ago; let’s just say this was one of the more fun parties I attended. And being a party, it’s a social occasion; I certainly wasn’t working, but that didn’t prevent me from packing some pocket firepower in case photographic opportunities presented themselves, or I simply got bored with the conversation. (My wife is a long-suffering social and conversational martyr when it comes to me, photography, vacations and parties – thanks Nadiah!) Yes, it was dark, and there is motion blur because I ran out of apertures and shutter speeds (not to mention having trouble focusing on the rapidly moving dancers) – but I definitely think the motion blur adds to the action and slight sense of chaotic fun.

This series shot with an Olympus E-PM1 Pen Mini and Panasonic 20/1.7 G.

I really love the color and tone of the 2nd and the 4th photo. They have such a cinematic feeling. I guess you have adjusted the color since I can never get this out of my Oly camera. Would you mind sharing a bit the approach to get these lovely colors? Thanks
Thanks Chris. It’s pretty simple – shoot raw, and use the eyedropper in ACR to manually set WB.
Suffering for your craft eh? 🙂
these are really well done and capture the *mood* ,let eh pixel peepers have a heart attack at the blur, I like them 🙂
Thanks Robert. The critical bits are sharp; I’ve always believed motion blur just adds to the flavor if done well 🙂
It reminds me that article about technical perfection. Liked them all!
Once I did really slow photos on a wedding dance and the results were better than expected.
Thanks Daniel!
What’s a little motion blur amongst friends ; ] Sharp faces and the atmosphere of the day.
Thanks!
