The Marys and Their Lambs

[Brian Moore]

A side stage shot I made during the Ballet Etudes Nutcracker performance on December 3 at Huntington Beach High School in Huntington Beach, California.

I used my Olympus XA with Kodak Ultramax 800 ASA film.

Awww Cute

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Another excellent picture there.
I love it how the composition is not staged although there looks like a stage present.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Dave and Dan!

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderful again Brain. A real sense of anticipation about this shot. Excellent choice of viewpoint given the resitrictions and lighting etc spot-on.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks very much, Pete. In previous years I had shot B&W backstage and side stage. This year I decided to try some color. I had planned on Portra 800 but was unable to get any before the performance. However, a local pharmacy had Kodak Ultramax 800 in stock and I must say I am impressed with it. I have a couple of more side stage shots I'd like to post. I'll put another up tonight and one tomorrow.

I may go with the Portra for next weekend's performances. Anyway, thanks again Pete!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Yes - excellent viewpoint, and love the way the stage lighting plays on the subjects

Is the Ultramax one of the T-Grain films?

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks a lot, Chris. As to the Ultramax,..it's not T grain. Its just a consumer grade color film that you'll find Walgreens as well as other such shops selling.
