This is a square dancing student's eye view. The pretty lady in the foreground, Fran Hoeppner, is my dance partner and that is the scene I often see when we are whirling through a robust lesson segment. It is no wonder dance lessons are so challenging.

Actually, this picture was done to illustrate a blog article on the creative use of motion with a still camera. The appearance of movement above was achieved by using a slow shutter speed during exposure. We will talk about this in greater detail Saturday while Fogeyisms explores this technique during a recent Saturday evening dance by Mansfield's dance group, The Johnny Appleseed Squares.
