So I did my homework when asked to photograph some ballet and went along to the dress rehearsal. I the lighting was good, well, 1600 iso would allow me 150-250 shutter speed at 1.7. The lights were a constant white(tungsten) with a few colored spot lights. So off I went last night to take some photos and what happens? The stage is lit by some very dull colored light flood lights and a smoke machine that would rival london fog. At times the best I could get was a shutter speed of 1/30 so anything moving was a blur, that is if you could focus throught the pea-soup fog.
Lesson: Never trust what they tell you the lighting will be like. Kind regards Kevin -- ______ (_____ \ _____) ) ____ ____ ____ ____ | ____/ / _ ) / _ | / ___) / _ ) | | ( (/ / ( ( | |( (___ ( (/ / |_| \____) \_||_| \____) \____) Kevin Waterson Port Macquarie, Australia
