I would too, but we've got some physics issues that get in the way. > with a longer lens. Probably hard to do in the dance studio location, > but something to think about. A lot of the photos were shot through the doorway from several feet out in the hall. Here area couple of photos that give an idea of the room, it's just about 10' wide, and probably 20' long: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157625889241223/ As far as I can tell, it started out as the sitting room outside the women's room at the Palomar ballroom in Santa Cruz. In the photo of Mike and Lucy, you can see the door to the women's room in the mirror. The other, terribly underexposed, picture was a quick snap I took to document how I set up the lights. I realized that getting that shot would mean losing the setting on the K20, so I meant to "do it right" when I was done shooting for the evening, and then ended up with subjects until midnight, and was totally wiped out and forgot. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
