Fusion montage video showing Bulgaria rhythmic group from 2009 World Cup Budapest held March 8-9. Still photos and video showing Vladislava & Galina Tancheve, Kristina Rangelova, Mihaela Maevska, Boryana Yordanova, Stela Sultanova. Video and stills by Tom Theobald...showing BUL trainings and competition routines with 5-hoops as well as ropes + ribbon routines. Higher quality version shows here: http://www.tomtheobald.com/2009-budapest-videos/2009-budapest-BUL-montage.mov

Notable is that the Tancheva twins and Kristina Rangelova, originally from the 2004 Athens Olympic group, were invited in late 2008 (after Beijing Olympics) to return as members of the 2009 Bulgarian rhythmic group.

Tech notes... Video camera was Canon 5D MKII and still photos done with Nikon D700. Lens used was 70-200mm/f2.8 lens on respective cameras. 5DMK2 in video mode is only manual focus during all operations. That makes it was very challenging and you have to re-learn follow-focus technique. Skills I had not used since the 1980's and barely had a handle tracking the gymnasts across the carpet Enjoy! Tom
