My wife and I skipped town this weekend to see a local shadow cast of Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Of course, we had no idea what to expect for such a thing. It could be a packed house, or empty. We stopped by to purchase tickets at roughly 3 in the afternoon, and were told they expected a line to start forming around 10:30. So, we were there, first in line.

What’s more, they allowed me to bring the camera provided I ask the cast first. They were ok with it as well, so I was shooting pics in throughout. Unsure the size of the theater, and not wanting to have to pack everything back to the car if I was denied, I only brought my telephoto lense. I wish I had brought my shorter one. But, we know better for next year.
Our (very funny) security for the night.

As we were pat down prior to the show, I told my wife I only take her out to the best places…
Anyhow. I chose the camera I did, largely based on reviews stating just how well it performs in low light situations…well, ya know, I seem to have a few of those…
I can’t imagine a more difficult lighting situation than attempting to snap photos of actors with the shifting lighting created by a projector. I must say, I am impressed.

It was a very fun night that I’m still attempting to recover from.
And, we stumbled on something whilst out shopping that may just revolutionize how I set things up in the yard. But, more on that later.
That had to be so neat!
I am officially jealous. 🙂
