Thanks Deb...I shoot shows for them now and again. Recently, also Enchanted April and Secret Garden. This is a really grand community theatre. More like a pro theatre. It is call the Little Theatre of Alexandria. They own a very nice/large building, excellent light, sound, money for costumes, etc. And also my kid is very involved there and doing the "dad showing off" thing a little, here are a few more of her. She plays Jen, in chorus roles, a street boy and angel in the toy scene.

Great shots MSC. Wondering what was your setup? Tripod, handheld and lens selection. Once again great shots.

Thanks and it was a number of lenses. Over the course of shooting three dress rehearsals, used a 16-35 2.8, 35L, 85L, 135L, 70-200 2.8 IS and a 400 2.8 way in the back on a tripod with a Wimberely. Usually use the longer lenses for the first show to get a feel for the show, set, etc. Then for the next, go down close to the stage for WA shots and views from extreme stage right-left, then the last night, fill in the gaps with whatever is needed. For all but the 400, these are all handheld. I have a monopod for the upclose stuff which I always think will be used but never actually do...it is too restrictive when framing so handheld is best.

Appreciate your thoughts!

Oh, and I have to ask, what was your favorite/most valuable lens (might be two questions) out of the whole experience?

Shane,
Thanks for posting these and the information about your techniques & lenses, etc., and for posting pics with the EXIF intact. I've shot a couple of high school productions mostly as a favor to the director, and I've still got a lot to learn. This stuff helps. (Your web site, which is very nicely done, btw, also is helpful.)
I especially liked #1 (my goodness --1/15 sec with a 400 mm -- you captured this at just the right moment) and #6 with the perfect shutter speed for a sharp subject with some motion blur. Great images.
John
