Rhonda Huntress Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I just needed somthing to do with dancing. Trying to get the right shot in the middle of an animation can be tough. Even worse when you finally get it all set up and timed right ... but the animation changes to the next dance :smileymad: So how about you? Caught any good action shots lately?

Alicia Mureaux Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Freeze frame is your bestest friend when capturing motion pictures. It will allow you to pan around as long as the animation doesn't change to something else if you didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Huntress Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 No, I did not know that. Thanks for letting me know! I will have to try it out. And thank you for the illustration:smileywink:. Brains and beauty, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia Mureaux Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 :smileyhappy: After you get the shot framed don't forget to click the refresh snapshot button! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marigold Devin Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 You caught the swish of that gorgeous skirt nicely. It is very hard, you just get the exact right moment, and then one of you blinks or the animation decides to synchronise just as you click the shutter !

In this SL mimics RL. I went to Sea World two years ago for a late spring break. I have a lot of pictures of ripples in the water where a dolphin just jumped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerie Inshan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I use Alicia's tip, resfreshing every 2 seconds until the right moment comes. :smileyhappy: Just when the dress perfectly swirls so the stillshot gives the idea of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caitlin Tobias Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Never easy to 'shoot' a dance in one go, I usually end up with at least 25 pics and then hope to find one that is good enough! I don't go out much, but sometimes I am lucky! I like this picture, only thing I can't help is that I seem to be hovering above the dancefloor, or am I stepp;ing on his feet? heh!

Lyra Blackthorne Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 There is also a slow animation option in the advanced menu that gives you more time without completely freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Petrov Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, it is a challenge to get a good photo while dancing. I try to figure out in which direction to point my camera first (lighting, background, etc) and then snap and refresh until I think I have one. Trial and error, usually, and I am not a good photographer. Here is one from not too long ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Yardley Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I prefer to dance in our little dark smelly backstreet dance "hall". Here is a photo, looking in from the street. It is small, the beer is lukewarm but it has the best crowd, lovely 1920s dances and of course music from that golden age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous Valerie!! It still is a challenge to get the perfect moment. When you to find it the result is worth the time spent.
