Lots of practices for the cha cha routine before hand, the result was not as good as I hoped for. Oh well. It’s been a while since I did Latin and I have lost some of the disciplines I learned. The body took a beating though during the day. Video taping on a tripod sistting on top of a coffee table is not an easy feat. I had to reach up to the camera and pan it as the dancers moved across the floor. Sometimes zoomed in and out as needed. The shoulder and arms got tired after a while, and I did it for a few hours. In between the solos, I took pictures. So by the time my solo came close, I was already exhausted.
So it took me a couple of days to recover from the fatigue. I was actually aching all over and needed to stay in bed for a couple of days. That’s getting old for you!
I finally recovered and had the time to process the photos today. There were tons of them. Took me the whole day to get them cleaned up and uploaded to picasaweb. I can spend a lot more time on them if I wanted to. And I wish I have done a better job at shooting too. Still need to practice more with my camera.
Will need to do the videos next. That will take even longer time. Technology is great but it’s also time consuming.
