Faustus at the Cellblock Theatre.

With Leigh starring in the lead role as Dr Faustus.

I was impressed with everyone's performances, but Leigh, of course, was exceptional.

And yeah, I'm a proud dad!

But, have a look at these.

800 ISO
1/40 sec, f5.6

Glen,

Yes, the lighting was very simple, but angled mainly towards stage centre. As the cast moved about the stage, their faces would move intoi and out of the light, making it difficult to get good shots.

Also, I was sitting in the audience, and didn't want to disturb others' enjoyment of the performance too much.

But in the main, I'm quite satisfied with what I've got; there's no PP in any of the shots, except for a bit of auto contrast on about a half dozen where the lack of lighting dictated.

And I love a couple of the images of the Good Angel, who spent most of the performance on stage right, reacting to what was happenning centre stage. Look at 4639 ...

Yes, Blue Girl is sensational. 4639 is my favourite image.

Oh bugger.

I guess that is the consequence of being the son of the Admin... the Herald today should have a picture or two of us rehearsing early this week.

I know what that photo is without even seeing it... me thinks it's one the photographer staged us in.
