Back in the swing of things.

I went dancing last night at La Isla and had a great time. Liza was looking good as always.

I saw lots of other friends there too. Alexandra (in black) was in top form.

Hi Alexandra & Lotta!



Johan was also there, and he's the photographer of some of these photos (including any with me in them).







Roden was having a good time.











This was my first time to go out dancing since I returned to Stockholm a couple of weeks ago.











Ibi and Marina returned from a dance competition and showed their stuff!

Say cheese!

After the dance lesson, I caught the bus down to Fridhemsplan to do some social dancing at La Isa. There, the Wednesday night drop-in course was just wrapping up.

Zita was there, along with lots of other friendly & familiar faces.







Osiel, one of the instructors at La Isla.

I danced with this girl a couple of times. Her name is Emma, and she's a great dancer!

La Isla has gone more "disco" lately, installing blacklights on the dance floor and flourescent lighting under the bar. I'm not sure I like the changes.



I shot all of these with my 50mm lens at f/1.4, with no flash. I relied on the very unpredictable disco lights for illumination. Auto-focus was really unreliable in this environment.

I did use the flash a couple of times, with pretty good results. This is just the built-in flash on my D200, not the big external SB-800.

Finally a nice action shot!

Pierre too this photo of me.

More from La Isla!

Johan and Eva.

Sanna and some guy I don't know .:)



Lisa showing off her moves.

The 50mm lens requires some creativity on the part of the photographer in closed-quarters. I walked halfway up the stairs to the exit and shot some of these photos through the railing.

















Ibi & Marina were also there.



Pierre!
