Views of the Portland Tango Festival 2008.

It's been a couple years since I've been to the Portland Tango Festival. When I first started to get back into photography (now digital) there were still some challenges with low light and high speed. However, Nikon decided to come out with a new camera (D3) that addresses both the problems of quality, low light and high speed. Having been frustrated in the past with the lighting at Milongas I figured it was time to see what the new Nikon can do. After looking at some of the images I can say that I'm honestly happy with the results.

So this is the results of me playing with my camera gear, the available light (no flash was ever used) and the Tango dancers at the festivals. Some of you I know and many of you I don't. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

NOTE: Clay just sent out a link so I guess I should post up the images from the grand ball. Check back in a day or so if you don't see them.
