Nutcracker 2015
7

Hi, all!

I just wanted to share some pics I took this past weekend. Both my K-3 (with the DA* 50-135mm) and K-5IIs (with the DA* 16-50mm) performed as expected. Hope you enjoy them.

More photos on my Facebook page.

Thank you all for your kind words. It's such a challenge to get good pictures but the satisfaction when you do is enormous.

Beautiful images! The K-3 and you nailed them.

Love Nutcracker as it holds great memories for me since my youngest daughter danced it 4 years in a row. She went on to dance professionally (ballet) for 10 years and got to see many parts of the world. I can attest that dance makes one stay in top condition..amazing workouts with pilates, stretching, etc.  Give me some Mannheim Steamroller (carol of the bells my fav), a glass of old vine Zinfandel, a log in the fireplace and I'm a happy guy.

Beautiful writeup, "Sactojim".

I started ballet photography six years ago, when my daughter was six months old. I always thought she'd be interested in ballet, so I thought I'd better get good at that type of photography for when the time came. Three years later, she started with baby ballet and this year is her third Nutcracker presentation.

In the meantime, I've become the official photographer of this ballet school, so I get to take beautiful pictures of my daughter too!

I hope I can say the same as you in the future, but that's up to my daughter.

Cheers!

Great shots, I'm surprised they let you in there with all that camera gear!

I'm actually the ballet school's official photographer. But over here in Mexico there are no strict rules about bringing cameras to these events, sadly.
