I'm not sure if they are MV lights but they look like them.What ever hockey arena's use
these
days.<vbg>
Thanks for the samples Wendy. My main plan is for the B&W,her Mom likes my B&W.:-)
I think i'll put a shorter lens on the D1 and use digital for any presentations or
candids,if i can get back
stage.They have it all changed around and even have security this year.<g>
I'll check the schedule for the dogs.My friend shows early so i';ll be there around
7am.

the lighting's like I had. Last time I was shooting in an arena (see above) I was only
getting 1/350 at 2.8 so it would appear that it's pretty bright in the Palace. Won't
harm
to try both if you're able but my first choice would be the B&W.
