Ahhh me hearties... there be pirates.... a night at the opera...

OK kids don't fall off your chairs; last night I had the chance to shoot the Opera Australia production of Pirates of Penzance at the State Theatre in Melbourne starring Anthony Warlow and Reg Livermore (some of you Aussies will know those names). The season starts tonight.

Not quite my usual sweaty mosh pit environment but I really enjoyed it (don't worry I'll be back in the pit tomorrow night). Here are some shots from the show.

It was a quick and dirty post processing job afterwards to get the shots in to a daily newspaper so I didn't have the luxury to spent much time in PP.

C&C welcome and enjoy!

Why does every pirate have to look like Captain Jack Sparrow now?

You stole me thoughts, mate...

Captain Blood was a much better pirate than Sparrow (Erroll Flynn), Savvy?...

bah, scallywags, the lot of them. Me thinks the Opera is a fine pre-pillaging activity.

Nice series. Congrats, Arrrrrrrgh...

Very nice series.
The first 4 don't seem as sharp as the rest though?

How did I miss these?
Very nice stuff.
Some of the colors look a little off, but that can always be adjusted to taste.
Too bad about the dude's leg in #4. Did he lose his peg?

Finally he does photography! Good eye, Narlus. I don't know how I missed them either, Curtis, but I'll be were aren't the only ones.

these are crisp...

a real nice diversification for your portfolio...even a wider clientèle will relate to all of your stuff...

i forgot about these, and didn't post sooner.

Thanks for the compliments guys - and yes I fixed my watermark (all part of the grand plan that is developing a brand new website from the ground up)
