Ballroom dancing photos

This is just an example for an action shots photo session on location for a professional ballroom dancing couple. The idea is to capture the grace and the dynamic movement, however it was not about fast action shots and no special camera settings were neceessary. General settings used were Time Priority Mode, Shutter speed 1/125 inside and 1/250 outside, ISO between 400 and 640 just to make sure the shutter speed is achieved, despite the fact there was plenty of light, still not enough. Also the increased ISO was necessary to achieve smaller aperture for a larger depth of field. A very shallow depth of field would have had negative impacts. we wanted the couple in focus with all their body parts.
