Good shots.

[nyxx88]

Ortega!! Those shots are fantastic!!! Care to share what equipment you used? I was there but could barely get a shot for 2 reasons (cheap seats :P and poor equipment).

[ortega]

I was sitting at B4< I think that it costs me less than $50 per seat.
I was using a D70 and an old tokina 80-200mm F2.8.
I should have brought my monopod along.

Nice shots...shows how stable your hands are.

Prince Charming ain't that charming though....

[ortega]

and snow white ain't that fair either

What about your camera settings? Me still newbie, so asking lots of questions

[ortega]

ISO set to 800 - it was quite dark in there
WB Set to auto - lights were changing all the time
Meter set to matrix - there were 4 spotlights, but not all were used all the time, sometimes 1, 2, 3 and the best all 4.
A mode at F2.8
-0.7EV
Steady hands
Good eye

wah, nice takes ... like #7 best

[Petf69]

oh man...nice shots......

my turn to try this saturday. But I only have a F4.....not sure whether can freeze the action or not

[zhangyb]

nice shots! i like all of them! esp #5 where the actress frozen in her action, nice take! btw disney on ice isit every year event arh? How much are the tickets?

[ortega]

It was a difficult shot, dim light, forever changing, fast moving skaters, seated people infront. Bring a monopod and up your iso.

Disney on ice seems like a yearly affair. Front row tickets are expansive and limited.
My wife booked the tickets like 6 months back via credit card invitation.

only? cough cough ... you can do it if you want to

[yanyewkay]

very consistent colour reproduction in this tricky lighting.

how much PP done to get the above colours?

[ortega]

PP for colour reproduction? none.
In this situation, I decided to let the technology in the camera do the work,
while I just concentrate on getting the moment, focusing and keeping the camera still.

I guess that I was lucky that the spotlight operators were kind to me.

wow... fascinating...
i tot at iso 800 e noise lvl would be quite bad..?
can't really notice it here,
i like the mood of the last photo, feels like e kind of
"only 2 beings left in e entire world". =)

you got real steady hands man...

[ortega]

thanks

must be the stiff joints from old age ha ha

May I ask what's the advantage of setting the EV to -0.7? Cos normally my setting is +0.3.
