Hi all,

Took a few pics at this years ARIA Red Carpet today. It was in very difficult situations. Mind you I was situated rather close but had a couple of secuirty guys right where I wanted to shoot. As you do. Anyway, this is what I got. I was also very close to the Daily Telegraph Photog and I did notice one of them 'had' a 70-200VR......until she droped it and cracked the front element. She tried putting back on her D2H but had trouble focusing. I wonder why.......

These were taken with my D200 + 70-200VR.

Some great shots there Bill.

The Missy Higgins one is the best for me..... looks like you were sneaking a shot and got caught...... Nice eye contact.


Tony

Nice shots, Missy is definitely the best with the eye contact, but the question is did you get any of Nicole?

I quite like all of these. #1 the security guards add to the shot the way you have managed to frame it. They don't obscure the main subject but add context of the event, very well done given they were 'in the way'.

In the others the exposure looks good despite the bright background. It would have been easy to end up with underexposed subjects rather than a pleasantly blown background.

Thanks everyone,

Here are a couple more with the type of competition you're up against on getting the best photos.
This was the woman that dropped the 70-200VR. Ouch. She was about 6ft along side me with this big bazooka.



Hey Asho, not the greatest photo, but this was all I got on Nicole



Cheers,
Bill

Sorry I missed it.
