I've added several images to my site from this year's convention. Take a look.

Matt,

Nice photos. The spot lights didn't make it easy this year to get good pictures. They drove my white balance nuts. Then if the lights were on the face it would just blow the face out. Do you have Any tips for next year. I guess I could bring my wire cutters and cut the power cords to the lights. Very Happy

Thanks Bob

Please don't bring the wire cutters!
I was thrilled to see the lighting on the stage. I shoot with a high iso and no flash. I like using the ambient light in a situation like that.
Find me next year and we can talk cameras.

Matt

Matt, what camera were you using, was it a Nikon. I'm using a D-80 Nikon and do a lot of photo's for our High School. I also shoot a high ISO sometimes. But I get terrible wash out with gym lites.
By the way great picture's.

Thanks Bill.
This year I used the 10mp Canon EOS xti set on ISO 1600. In past years I used a hasselblad with 3200 black and white film. I love my hasselblad but a digital SLR is so much easier.
Try underexposing the image and brightening the dark areas in a photo editing program. It's much easier to lighten a dark area than darkening a washed out area. Also, try shooting with the lowest contrast possible in the camera and add contrast later.
