Thank you Frank, Alan, Paul, Chris and Jack. I have a lot of difficulty taking images under stage lighting, and Circus lighting is even worse! Many of the images I attempted that day had weird color or overwhelming noise, because of the many lights, or various colors, from all directions. This year, I used my 50 mm F1.8 instead of a zoom, and the color and noise problems were less, although still difficult.
This is the Big Apple Circus, which was founded in the 1970s by a college classmate of mine, Paul Binder. http://bigapplecircus.org/ It is an intimate, one-ring circus, boasting that no seat is more that 50 ft from the action. It is very child-friendly, with friendly rather than scary clowns, and no vicious animals, just dog and pony acts. <G> It's main season is a 3 month winter run in Lincoln Center, NY, and it has shorter runs in Boston, Queens, and Bridgewater, NJ, the town where I grew up. Here in Jersey, it partners with the YMCA, which gets some of the gate. It also has a "Clown Care" program in hospitals: http://bigapplecircus.org/clown-care Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Mar 16, 2014 at 1:07 AM, knarf <[email protected]> wrote: > That's a great shot!! > > Cheers, > frank > > On 16 March, 2014 1:02:50 AM EDT, "Daniel J.
