Woah, thanks for putting that into perspective.

This is for a  year long project I'm doing with a local ballet studio and it
was my first official visit as documenteur, as it were. It certainly taught
me a few things about what I'm going to be looking for in the future.

The first edit is down to about 120 and that will go way down.  I hope to
get maybe 10 keepers there.

I used every lens I own except the 28 CV.  Had a bit of dust get onto the
sensor - the spotting feature in LR is fantastic for this.

The CV15 ended up providing a stellar view of the ballet class.
