Thanks. I think it works better in black and white too. Thanks for the idea. It worked well enough in color that I originally went with that. I've been criticized before for my tendency to undo the stage lighting in a lot of my photos. Mostly it seems that the stage lighting is just done to bugger up anybody trying to video a performance, because having all the light at the red end of the spectrum bolloxes up the automatic metering, without actually doing anything to make things look better or more interesting. > > Cheers, > frank > > "What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof." -- > Christopher Hitchens > > --- Original Message --- > > From: Larry Colen <[email protected]> > Sent: October 4, 2012 10/4/12 > To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: PESOs Hank and Cleveland, also Pops > > > On Oct 3, 2012, at 3:57 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> I have problems with stage photos bathed in deep coloured spots, so due to >> that personal bias I don't feel qualified to comment on that first photo. > > That is certainly not my favorite lighting either, which is why I converted > so many of the photos to black and white.
