Lion king show

[MTP]

Mack,

You have to go back to see this show, it is excellent. Now with Kraken and this you are truly obliged to go back!

Believe it or not Nostromo and MTP it was taken with my little Canon digital. I had the flash off and bumped the ISO sensitivity up as high as it would go. The thing I find difficult with the little digital is that its autofocus is really too slow for a fast moving show so I had it pre-focused on the figure in the centre of the frame. I let the camera sort out the exposure, which was as wide an aperture as the lens could manage but still not quite wide enough as I was still getting the camera shake warning. I took dozens of photos during the show; this is the best one, the rest go steadily downhill from here.

I'm very flattered by your question about being a pro. Alas not. I will admit to being quite a keen amateur. I'm going to be back out at the end of the year and if my plan comes good I will have a couple of days snapping with my new Nikon. I'll post some results to a photo thread to see what you think.

Thanks for the info Steve. I have heard from others that the Aperture Priority mode works very well with upmarket digicams, with or without flash. I've got a year old Minolta Dimage A1 which is very good and I'll try some night photography with AP mode soon.
