Dancing Legs and ZOOMin Ballet, originally uploaded by ESEA Photo.
At my daughters ballet gala while waiting for her part I started to experiment with slow shutter speed. Flash was not allowed (not many parents complied) during the show, so without a flash I found a few interesting shots, hitting the right timing was the trick and that took a lot of misses.
The Eye of the photographer, who’s looking.
Seeing something that isn’t, what am eye.
I am what eye see just a reflection of light on the art of someone’s creation. As it all starts and grows into something different.

This image of the classic yacht Marigold at Les Voiles De St Tropez 2009 has been processed in Adobe Lightroom, giving it high-key look. As you can see I have sucked the blues right out of the image just leaving a little hint in the shadows. Below you can see the before and after images and also find the code for the Lightroom develop preset I call “Marigold High Key”. Feel free to save and use the preset if you use Adobe Lightroom

Louis Vuitton Trophy:
Nice Regatta Begins November 7
The facilities in Nice are being readied, the race boats are being tested, equalized and prepared for racing, and some of the teams spent some time on ACC yachts last week, working out the kinks ahead of the first race day, November 7.
Four ACC boats that are based in Valencia, the site of the last Americas Cup where several teams still maintain a base of operations, will be used for the racing in Nice, have been set-up for the November regatta.
Further info can be found at CupInfo
Hopefully I will be able to get out on the water to take some shots of these impressive boats. I’ll keep you posted on my little adventure.

The 13th Monaco Kart Cup was held from the 16th to 18th October 2009 by the Automobile Club de Monaco .
This event forms part of the CIK/FIA racing calendar. The Automobile Club provids the most spectacular of temporary urban circuits, employing the lower part of the legendary Monaco Formula One track.
This year the racetrack was be slightly modified from last year, in the section from the exit of the swimming pool to the Rascasse corner, due to a redesign of a large part of the Darse Sud. This shortens the circuit from 1079 m to 1068 m.
The programme featured two international events:
- As in previous years, one KF3 class race: a high performance class for drivers aged 13 to 15 years old. The class uses 125 cm³, 2-stroke, water-cooled engines producing about 28 hp (14,000 rpm), with Touch-and-Go electric starter and clutch, and preparation allowed. Free use of CIK-approved chassis. Minimum weight is 145 kg with driver.
- And for the first time in Monaco, a KZ2 class race: this is the top category for karts with gearboxes, for ages 15 and upwards. Free use of CIK-approved chassis with front brakes. 125 cm³, 2-stroke, water-cooled engine producing about 42 hp, with six-speed gearbox and preparation allowed. Minimum weight with driver is 175 kg.
An endurance race completed the weekend. Teams of 3 to 5 novice or experienced drivers took part and the race was divided into three two-hour legs.
Thanks to Juan at sandboxskins
for the Sandbox Skin: Photo Viewer which I have now used for this site. at the moment we are ironing out some bugs and hopefully I will nail down the feel that I am looking for on this site at which point I will get down to what this is all about “Photography” and how I create the images.
