How do you photograph in a dark theatre when the performer is lit only by the flaming baton he is twirling? I suggest using a fast lens like the Nikon 70-200VR set at f/2.8, increase the camera’s ISO to 800 and use spot metering to get an exact exposure on the performer’s face.

Wow awesome shot!
Now I learn there are fast lenses too! I had no idea there were lenses designed for quick capture. I was hatin’ on my little camera last night for that dang shutter lag; my DSLR desire is “inflamed!”

You did a wonderful job capturing this in such light. I avoid inside or dark shots for the most part for I’m no good at it at all. Always blurry… always.

That shot is amazing! I’ve sure been learning a lot about taking photos in the dark lately and I’ve even been using manual for the first time, but I really should try the spot metering next. Thanks for the encouragement.

Amazing capture Scott! FOLK is one of my favorite shows at Disney. I know how fast this performer works – you caught him at the perfect moment when he pauses! LOVE the flame in the mouth. SO WELL DONE!!!! 🙂
