Day 105, Year 2 - Trapeze!

My folks took Alexis and I to the Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth, for her first ever visit. I haven't been since the 1980's so it was good to go and see a show. You're not supposed to take photos but I had my SLR with me and snapped a few when the very glamorous trapeze artists were doing their thing.
Am well jel of this! I took my two grandsons to the circus last week and found the lighting dire for shutter speeds and exposure.

@jackie8 Thank you. It was dark. I shot manually at ISO1000, f5, 1/80th so could have had a lot of movement in it, and lots of noise but I managed to wait until the light was a little brighter, and when she was at the end of direction of the swing. If you look closely you can see the slight movement left to right, in her hair as she goes back towards the right of frame. Very tricky though, but great fun :)
