Beautiful. I look forward to your ballet posts so much. My Granddaughters (10 and 13) take ballet and my daughter and I photograph their recitals. If it wasn't for your tips and the inspiration I get from your photography I'd still be pulling my hair out. Keep up the GREAT work and thank you.
Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words. If I can ever help with anything, do let me know.

were you able to move around on stage or did you just use a tele lens? #8 is gorgeous
These are dress rehearsal shots. I get to choose where I sit, so I sit as far away from the stage as I can get while still staying relatively stage-level. I want to use the long end of my 70-200mm lens as much as possible but I don't want to be shooting down on the dancers so it's a bit of a compromise. So I am sitting directly center to the stage probably around the 10th row or so.

Your skillful planning explains #8 with it's gorgeous eye level presentation. A stunning shot and it's neat to learn a bit of the magic behind the camera.
