Hello Cotty, Interesting question. These were taken during my learning phase with my digital equipment. It was a play in which I needed to get coverage of all the actors. I had the opportunity to shoot both the dress rehearsal and the live performance, which helped me learn a few things and also get a second chance in some cases. So in a long winded way, the images shown are not all that was shot, but more is shown than if I were to just show a few for advertising, etc. The kids and parents were able to go to the site and view/order pictures. The school also got a set of prints to put up around the school and for promotion.
Based on what I have learned since that time, I would shoot it a bit differently (at least RAW) and possibly different lenses than I had at that time. But isn't that how everything goes? We learn as we go and when looking back, can see how we could have done better. Part of what makes life interesting. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 12:08:02 AM, you wrote: C> On 17/5/05, Bruce Dayton, discombobulated, unleashed: >>Go with 1600 - nothing like a flash to ruin the mood of the pictures. >>I shoot 1600 all the time.
