Bill's Broadsides
POSTED:Mon, July 28, 2008 @ 2:38PM
Low-light photographyBlog Links» Mettawee River Theatre Co.I wish I knew more about the technical aspects of taking pictures in unusual light conditions. I didn't want to use the flash that night, because it might distract the performers and annoy the audience. I ended up trying to brace the camera against the trunks of the black walnut trees to keep it steady, but that only helped a little. At any rate, if you were there on Thursday night (and you survived the mosquitos), you know the show was excellent. The story, along with the masks, costumes, choreography and music, combined to make a colorful, entertaining and thought-provoking experience. Too bad the group comes to our area only once a year on its summer tour.
