Thanks, Doug, Larry, Brian, Ann, Dave, Frank, Joseph, and Stan. Very much appreciated.
Ann: if I had extra money, I'd buy you one; no joshing. Dave: I used the DA* 50-135mm. At the beginning of the game I was shooting aperture priority set at F2.8 & ISO 1600. The shutter wasn't really fast enough, so I shot the rest of the game at TAV, set at f2.8 & shutter 500--hence the high ISOs. Even the high ISOs needed slight exposure tweaking, though not as much, I believe. In Lightroom I bumped up the exposure about a half to a near full stop for the shots at ISO 1600, and added *punch*, which for B & W is only clarity at +50--the vibrance and saturation options are grayed out--actually, all the frames got *punch*. For B & W I normally use the eye dropper and search for a spot at 18% then click. I should say white balance was set to Florescent cool white, and there wasn't that much of a dramatic eye dropper change for most frames, but some for others.
