COMEDY SPORTz – The High School League
I was asked shoot an event at school, the COMEDY SPORTz competition.
I’ve never been to one of these events, but I have shot in the theater. Talk about low light!!!!
The event is modeled after Whose Line is It Anyway? The British and then American TV show that spotlighted improvisational comedy.
The kids weren’t bad. They really got into the scenes and were very witty and quick. It really wasn’t a bad show. Again, it is always nice to see students doing something they love to do. Passion.
As for the shooting, what can I say? LOW LIGHT!! Set the camera on Aperture Priority, open up the 70-200 f2.8 to wide open, set the ISO to auto (max 1600) and shoot.
I did have a problem with exposure. Using evlauative metering created an overexposure situation on the subjects as the camera tried to bring the background to the right exposure, but when I went to center weighting, the exposure got a lot better.
I also learned how to really stream line my post production time in Lightroom, but I’ll talk about that at another time.
You can view all of the images at the Nature Light Photography Gallery.
