THEY FLOAT THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE

Our scaled down circus performance  this weekend had all local performers. Shooting this was quite a photographic challenge, with movement and extreme dynamic range. For the techies out there, this was shot at ISO 6400, 1/240, f 2.0, on a Fujifilm XS-10 with in-body image stabilization and a 35 mm prime lens with a 1.5 crop factor. Go ahead and use that for an icebreaker at a cocktail party. Fine with me.     

Note that the man is supporting the woman with one bare foot under her neck and another under her thigh. I can't imagine rehearsing this.

You managed to capture them, though I dare say they didn't stay in that position for long! Interesting photographic stats...I don't remember much about them from class many years ago.... and that was with film!
