In my process of trying to look back at the dances I shot last year to prepare for the furry rave coming up next month I went through my shots from MFF 2012 and posted a few. That event was a new challenge again.

At the MFF dances last year I was trying to get the dancers to be lit, not just black outlines with colored lights behind them. But the lights that I was trying to use to illuminate them were a bunch of pan/tilt spots, which made for excellent ambiance but were kind of hard to predict. The end result was I just had to spam the shutter release and take a bunch of pictures and hope that a few worked. Still it was an opportunity I never had before, the lighting setup was all new and made it possible to try to shoot like that for the first time at MFF. And it gave me lots of lovely colored shafts of light to play with, like the purple shot that I posted.

Bring on the furry rave sequel, I'm ready. Or at least as ready as I'm going to get.
