theatre photography
I am photographing a theatre production and was intending on using my E3 with Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 am I right?
I am in the middle of my photography HND and a friend of mine has asked me to shoot her childrens theatre school productions. Will the Sigma be fast enough for the low light? I would love the new zuiko 12-60mm but it's so pricey.
The issue here is the iso rating, which will need to be very high (ISO 800 plus) to shoot handheld at around f2.8. Correct any colour casts later in Photoshop if you want to. Focus on the issue, not expensive equipment. Keeping shutter speeds at 1/60 sec or better for handheld stuff will require this high iso rating, and it will lead to increased grain. Nothing you can do about it, just go for it. Don't shoot at low iso or all your shots will be low shutter speed and blurred.
