you bet - just think how difficult it is to produce a decent picture showing the angle and color of lighting used. Point and shoot cameras flash everytime, or correct to the point that everything is washed out. When a lighting person is trying to put together their portfolio, it can be very difficult to represent their abilities when all they have is blueprints of lighting plots and stage directions and whatnot. Nothing speaks to a director like a good visual, and naturally good photographers are as rare among 'techies' as among the rest of the public. Glad that was helpful! :) rg2 On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 8:31 PM, Wes Medlin <[email protected]> wrote: > Bruce, > > If you're going to shoot theatre, you have to get in good with the > techs.
