[QUOTE="STM, post: 132504, member: 12827"] I usually do a meter reading on a singer's face when he is spotlighted with non colored lights and set my base exposure from that. I rarely changed it throughout the show, even when I was shooting slides. If there was a scene which was especially dark, I just opened up a stop. Any differences in brightness could be corrected in printing. Of course with digital, you can use Camera RAW in PS to make any tweeks. Here are some I shot at a Kentucky Headhunters show a few weekends back. They were shot with a D700, 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS Nikkor (on a monopod) at ISO 800. Even with all the lights and gels, I barely had to tweak any of the shots in Camera Raw in PS: [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/2/8/2/7/khh_0286.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/2/8/2/7/khh_0258.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/2/8/2/7/khh_0254.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/2/8/2/7/khh_0261.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/2/8/2/7/khh_0363.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
