This image merges the furious energy of Bolivian folk dancing with its elegant grace and ethnic traditions. I selected my camera’s shutter priority mode, and chose to make this image at one eighth of a second. While the shutter was open, the dancers are depicted in various degrees of blur. The dancers who are moving very fast are suggested here only as ghostly abstractions. The dancers moving more slowly at this instant are still blurred, but are defined enough to convey their gender, costume, and dancing form. Deliberately blurring a moving subject is an interpretive choice. In this case, what normally would have been just a picture of dancers instead becomes an image of whirling beauty that happens to have dancers in it.
