Hi -
I've been off-list a couple of years because life was too busy to
attend to the number of emails a list generates, but I tuned in again
recently.
Just before Christmas I was photographing my daughter's Nutcracker
production. It was hard. I was using a C-5050Z for most of it, which is
marginal at ISO 200 and unacceptably noisy at 400. So I shot at 125 and
200. Stage lighting, even when it seems bright, isn't much. As Chuck
said, the only opening for a shot is when they hold a pose for a
moment, and even then the large majority of the shots were blurred.
I have better hopes for the OM-1 shots, using Delta 3200 shot at 1600,
with the Tamron 80-200/2.8 and a tripod to at least factor out shake. I
got 1/60 to 1/250, depending on the lighting. We'll see when I develop
it whether I got it right. It isn't easy photographing dance - people
move too much. :-)
After I discussed this, a friend I visited at Christmas demonstrated
his D700. In low light he photographed my daughter and I at 6400, and
it looked OK. Very slight blurring might have been NR or perhaps just
shake. That would have been a nice tool to use...
Regards,
Andrew
