I thought someone may want to see this, its nothing big and its rather dark, size of the place is huge.
This is the symphony hall is rather large but really cool.

Wow, where would that be?  :)

birmingham

Its only a little place  ;)

lol compaired to most places it is. its only got an 1800 capacity, but then again it doesnt need to be any bigger

Unusual shot Craig. You should take more.

Hope you enjoy it in Birmingham. I went past there on Saturday. Next time I might get to visit Cosford.

Thank you Doug, i have a shot of my mom receiving her award from betty boothroid(or whatever it is)::) lol if anyone want to see it. Problem is the spotlights were all lowered and because of the distance from the stage the Flash was useless, and we were the closer group, cant imagine what those people at the back there had to do to get a big picture.

birmingham

:O dude!!!! i soooo wish i could go there man!!!! is there anything refering to Black Sabbath in Brimingham?

not that i noticed, but then again i was only there a day and busy for the whole time i was.

Which brings us to lesson #1 in photography 101....your flash is only going to be useful on subjects 4-8 feet from the lens.

I never understood why you see people at the Super Bowl taking pictures with flash from the last row of the upper level.

Normally, not a problem...except that the flash will illuminate ANYTHING in that range, like the back of the head of the person in front of you.

Unless you're standing on top of your subject, skip the flash entirely!

i know about the flash and i really do feel for those at the very back:) i just used it to piss someone on the other side off like they were doing all morning to me LOL

I figured you'd know, Craig...you seem to be into photography quite a bit.  But you never know who will stop in for tips!  lol

dont get me wrong i am always grateful for any help. lord knows i need it sadly the organisers screwed up, they must have known photography would be a big thing, but they lower the lights to make it almost impossible especially those at the back
