Tech Check
Andy & Ariana rehearse at Broken Leg Theatre.
I was asked to photograph a local variety show again, and as usual, it was a challenging but enjoyable experience. Oh how I envy those of you who have cameras that don't look like hot garbage above ISO 2000 ;)
Thankfully, a lot of acts used spotlights or reasonably bright lighting this time - no Gravely Ghost Walks performances or darkly lit dancing, so it was a bit easier to capture all the acts. I mostly used the 50mm 1.8 for simplicity's sake, but for a few of the monologues and more stationary musical acts, I broke out the 105mm macro and was pleased with the results. I should probably try to use it more often, but I try to keep lens changes to a minimum during the show.
