I recently did the Challenger Ball (banking company) and there was various special guests and celebs......plus some arty shows....

Here is a few to share





Phantom of the Opera Performance




All shot via spot meter........ISO at least 640 in most shots.....D200 handled it well...i have complained before about the 'noise' issues the cam has, but as some have said if the image is exposed right than the noise is really not an issue plus i have stopped 'pixel peeping' as it (noise) never shows in prints anyhow..lol

Dan PS: I am down a 50mm 1.4 i dropped it in the water at the beach ....ouch

Hello Dan

Firstly, sorry to hear about your lens - I hope it is insured.

Secondly, your pix. I think you have done an excellent job with Marcia Hines. Photographing dark skin tones under stage lighting wouldn't be easy, and the spotmeter must have been helpful.

I like the idea of the second image, but perhaps it may have worked even better iof the focus point was on the performers at the back of the shot. I find it a little difficult to make them out.

The third pic (I'm not sure who it is - I think Anthony Warlow has a shaved head) is moody, but what he is doing is only really apparent in the context of the other images.

I also like the last pic, but have the same difficulty with the performers on the bottom RHS of the image, and I feel that it may be better with them cropped out.

Anyway, I like the work overall. It's good to see posts containing content other than your usual genre.

Oh you handled the light well I thinks..

and sorry to hear about your lens... did you cry?... I would have... *nods*

hey Guys, thanks for the Crit.......no it wasnt insured

Just got myself a newy........

Dan

Bad to hear about the 50 but good to hear you expose better! Not in that way!

lol...just replaced it with the 85mm 1.8 ..........nice little lens

Lovely pics. I like 2,3,4 and 1. Each one for different reason.

Thanks mate, that was out of the blue......lol

You certainly have a creative bent to your work. I think a defining style is one of the most difficult things for a photographer to achieve but you are well on your way to gaining that. Nice work!
