Tech Rehearsal - Man of La Mancha

[Scott_Quier]

There is a community theater in a small town (Smithfield, VA) near where I live that puts on three shows each year. The show currently in production is "The Man of La Mancha". The theater and I have reached an arrangement whereby I provide still photography services in exchange for advertising space in their program and a display in the lobby of some of the shots from their Tech Rehearsals (my cards and tri-fold pamphlets are right next to the display)

Anyway, here are a few select shots from last night. These were all shot with either my Canon 20D or 30D (I was working 2 bodies so I didn't have to change lenses all the time), ISO 1600, with the EF-S 17-55 IS or the EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS (shutter between 1/40 and 1/120). Thought you might enjoy and maybe appreciate the high ISO performance of the camera.

BTW - C&C is alway welcome...

7. Hmm ... I don't remember what's going on here. The gold bowl is a shaving bowl and DQ thinks it's a golden helmet.

8. Again, not quite sure what this is all about, I was working at the time and didn't have the spare attention to follow the story.

Great stuff, man! Really nice work.

Where's Aldonza? Is she the woman in #1 and #4?

These look really good. Wish you had posted them larger!

Where's Aldonza? Is she the woman in #1 and #4?Yep, that's her and she is a wonderful performer.

These look really good. Wish you had posted them larger!Didn't even think about posting them larger. I figured with posting 8 of them that I might get jumped on if I also made the big.

Thanks both of you for looking and posting such a kind response.

Nice shots, not much to complain about:
I might have framed some a *bit* closer or wider, but that's about all...
