Degas Blue Ballarinas

Here is a impressionistically edited shot from Saturday's ballet recital.

The low lighting and blinding stage lights were a challenge to shoot in. I was disappointed with my shots, but really in the end I had some nice ones.

Clara is in the very middle here, Emily is far left.

If you are interested in seeing their whole dance, you can here as Michael recorded and posted it to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUzGOhCUIw&feature=youtu.be

Both of my girls had special parts.
congratulations to your girls for their special parts and to you for making art out of your photo FAV

I love the Degas effect. My mother had a pair of Degas-like ballerina paintings, and it reminds me of that--sentimental memories for me. I also watched the video. I like that Mike zoomed in on his daughters. That way I didn't miss them. It seemed an elaborate choreography. My great-niece and nephew were in an important dance recital this past weekend too, so it must be that time of year. I am going to tag their grandmother because I think she would like the video too. @365projectorglydiaanderson
