This is my 1st highschool dance shoot. Lucky for us, the ASB was nice enough to create the background for the photos. It looked great and was a huge life saver. We must have 80% turnout for the photos which was definitely a nice bonus in addition to the valuable experience that I took from this.
Being that the camera was stationary and also anticipating the potential for large groups I had to set the camera at f11 and pump the AB's to 3/4 power. This solved the issue of shallow depth field and gave very consistent photos which I believe is key to dance photos.
