Nutcracker on Ice 2008

I have been the photographer for the Ice Chalet and the Nutcracker on Ice for 21 years. A few years ago I started inviting my UT photography students to come to the performances to get photo practice shooting the productions that are extremely beautiful but very difficult to photograph. The stage lighting is constantly changing from very bright white light to very dark colors. Couple that with the tremendous speed of the skaters and you have a real photo challenge on your hands.

Here are a few images from my photo efforts this past week at the Nutcracker on Ice.

Ok, that sells me on your class. I'm going to have to take it. My most challenging shots are at the martial arts school I attend. It's a vast open gym with fluorescent lighting, a wall of mirrors, and high speed action. Sounds similar:)
