WHAT A MOVIE!

Uploaded: May 18, 2011

Description


----
Another shot from the Princeton Festival Gala fund raiser, April 9, 2011.
-------
This is a comedic performance by Mezzo Soprano "Rebecca" of Leonard Bernstein's "What a Movie" from the show, "Trouble in Tahiti."
-----
Shot this on my knees from across the ballroom, using a Canon 70-200mm F2.8 lens in much-less-than-optimal lighting conditions.
-----
Busy morning and afternoon. Catch up later this evening.

With difficult lighting you obviously choose the right lens and exposure setting. This is an excellent picture and B&W was a really good choice, nice work. #1377921

G'day *MICHELLE*!

Great conditions for B&W and quite a dynamic moment in this performr's act.
Though a little more room at top of frame would have been nice, (if possible), ypu have a frame packed with movement and emotion.
