My daughters previous play was Macbeth and I was close to the stage however did not have a very good lens (used my Sigma 300mm) and "that play" the lighting was very poor. This play however I had a better lens - some tips from members here - but even arriving 45 minutes early was relegated to the back row!! This was her last play (High School anyway) as her graduation is tomorrow - many tears were shed ...The production itself was wonderful. These kids can sign!!! I truly enjoyed it and will share a few shots (not spectacular as too far away for the Tamron, too dark but suitable for DVD shows and light years ahead my last attempt!)

The star (in my books anyway - and remember this is my Daughter and I am a big guy !)

The one with top billling (great voice)

The "Elvis Pharo" was a huge hit and he nailed it !

My Daughter her acting budy since grade 9 and the Director ...

More gratuitous daughter shots




More "Elvis" - He was good swivel hips and all


The cast was HUGE and this shot does not do it justice

daacon, you have all the reasons to be a proud daddy. Not all the shots may be perfect but years from now they will become treasures. It is not always the technical perfect photo that makes the best photo, enjoy them and take care,

I should say that one of the 'daughter' shots is my fav, but I'm going to go with #2. I love the vibrant colours, and the expressions on the actors faces.

Great stories for these stage shots.

I like the 2nd shot the best

Thanks for comments all - a faster lens and closer would have done better justice to the vibrant colors - was a great play and lots of memories
