I just got home from an amazing evening of children's Christmas music and dance theatre organized and taught by this beautiful and very talented Brittani. I sat in the back with the dearest Rebecca(s)- there were two of them there, and we oooo'd and aaaah'd the whole 2 hours! On a whim, I also took along my camera and biggest zooooooom lens we have. For those with an interest in photography, this is how I captured these images in a difficult lighting situation: I turned the ISO to 2500, flash off (of course, flash would be obnoxious and ineffective) and I was in Program AE mode ('P' in the creative zone), and held VERY steady (prop elbows firmly on person's shoulders in front of you if you are fairly good friends, otherwise do the best you can on your own, which is what I did). Then shoot it up and you might get a few out of a gazillion that you can then EDIT to your heart's content. I DID take images of my Anna and Abby neices and lots of friends and neighbors that were in it too. But, for now, this one of Brittani begged to be posted right away. I couldn't help myself. I mean, look at those eyes and clavical! I thought I would be there by myself (Jay and Twins were heavily into a building project that would not wait), but I was lucky to meet up with Rebecca - also by herself - who said I was a great date. Fun evening, what talent.
