form, a photo from Shanghai, Est

Photographer's Note

Acrobatic show in Shanghai. Flash photography is prohibited to prevent injury. Sat in the front row then moved a bit away because it was too close (only 120 RMB, oddly enough front row was all that was available when I looked for tickets). Shot ISO 3200 film and scanned on a friend's slide scanner that has GEM processing to reduce the grain.

This is a fantastic picture. It's well-centered and I love how the acrobat's stand just seems to be hanging in space. Hard to believe this was 3200 speed film!

Super shot, especially considering the circumstances.

may i ask what type of film you used to shoot this?

Great moment and great framing.

excellent picture in difficult conditions... it seems you did not need any flash here you did very well indeed;-) slight grain but life is not perfect, is it? nice shot in the air...

Image hors du commun. L'acrobate sans tout simplement voler... Très belle lumière. Bravo !

Hi Keir
I don´t understand how did you get only 10 points until now with this shot...it´s so well balanced and you clicked in the right moment. The option for B&W is also a good choice...
