I often photograph a local dance troop. Ive also started playing deeper with darktable. Here i took the descending line which ends up in the monitor bottom right as my cue and worked with it. Cluttered multicoloured backgrounds of shopping centres are hard to ignore. But B&W also looked too stark for this. The troops colours are red n black so using my new DT skills I used a parametric colour mask to leave the red in. I like it when a story unfolds on stage.
I would have liked a little bit more clarity but the conditions are tricky. Hard back light, little key light and no flash, Im often pushing my camera to its limits. Need more light :)
