Yes, that's kind of what I'm trying to do when I turn the camera around. One such shot is one I shared with the group here back in June: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2011/rebel_rebel/content/IMGP1657_large.html > Yours is also a good example of that idea. :-) > > During the time of shooting, for this particular shot, I may have > chosen to turn the camera vertically, and zoom in on the dancers. > That might add some dynamics. > Fixed-focal-length 90mm lens, and the dancers were in-and-out in about 45 seconds.
