Dave (evad),

I'd love to get some tips from you on how to make such gorgeous images in the shows. I have a D50 and several lenses and an external flash, and I'd love any tips you could give me.


Thanks for all of your help!

This is more like the Picture of the Morning. I've yet to have breakfast and would love to grab one of these at Lumiere's this morning. The only thing I did not like about Lumiere's omlet was the "fast food style" hash browns. The roasted potatoes at BBB/TS are so much better.

Hey there and welcome to the dis!!

I didn't do anything really special to get those pics. It was more like rhyme off a few shots and hope for the best. Fast glass is what you really need but since I don't have a fast zoom I just did what I could. The iso was set at 800 and the f/stop was between f/4 and f/5.6 the best I could get out my 70-300mm lens. The vr was turned on and then I just waited till there either little or no movement. My lens is too slow to freeze movement. No flash was used. A little tweaking in pp and your done.

Hope this helps.

Dave,

Thanks for the help! I was afraid that my lenses aren't going to be much help for images like this. The longest I have is an 85mm and all mine are primes. How far back in the theater were you? I may have to attempt to sit close to the front to even get anything good.

With some fast primes you should be ok if you can get close to the front. You can always crop the shot when you get home. The zoom comes in handy when you want to get between the heads of the people in front of you!

I sat around the middle of the theater right at the break between the two levels of seating. You may want to sit to the side to extend your range if you find the 85mm to be to close when down in front.
