Getting published

Well, the two local newspapers used a couple of my Tommy images in their reviews of the show, which by the way were "raves", and very deservedly so. Anyway, these were not the images I showed in my Tommy post, so here are those images.

Tommy

Theater photography is tough. You may think there is lots of light on stage, but that's only because of the contrast from the darkness in the audience area. Had an opportunity to shoot the dress rehearsal of Judy Russell's production of the Who's rock opera, Tommy, good test of the high ISO capabilities of my new K-7.

I was pleased at the camera's ability to acquire focus in this situation and the noise at ISO 1600 is quite acceptable. These are a couple of shots, but the whole shoot was at ISO 1600, shot with my DA* 50-135 wide open at f/2.8.

My new camera

My new camera arrived! Pro grade build, state of the art technology and it's a Pentax, which means you get to employ all that great Pentax glass. There are at least 3 more lenses I covet which means it time to do some wheeling and dealing and getting rid of some of my old gear so I can satiate my LBA (lens buying addiction).
