Well, it depends where you're photographing from. I would never consider photographing from the provided seating, as I would find it far too restrictive in terms of location and disturbing the audience. Even the action of pointing a camera and pulling focus is enough to cause unnecessary intrusion. Better to shoot from an aisle, possibly at the side, or better yet from the wings. If I had to shoot in the audience, then it would be from next to the sound or lighting desk. .02 Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
