climbing the yellow ribbon
This is Anna and Amanda of Cirque Noir climbing what's called the "tissue" in aerial dance. It's two strips of cloth suspended from the ceiling. They perform a lovely duet with both of them climbing up in it and dancing in it at the same time.
It's not every day you get to see:
1. neon pink feather eyelashes
2. gold lamé
3. neon fishnets
altogether at the same time.
Strobist info: Calumet Genesis 200 up high on a stand, shooting through the umbrella on the left side of the subjects. I wish I remember the power setting but I don't anymore, sorry... I'm up on a ladder, no remote triggers (boo) so I've got a chord across the studio and am shooting with a 50mm, but don't have full frame.

aerial dancers amanda and anna
... of cirque noir.
Strobist info: Calumet Genesis 200 shooting through the umbrella in front and slightly to the left. I was not set up with remote triggers, and they were climbing, so the stand was pretty high up and I was limited by the chord + not shooting full frame with the 20D.
