[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 195542, member: 13090"] Have to agree... Take the 35mm and zoom with your feet; the extra 20mm you'd get with the 18-55mm isn't worth what you'd be giving up in speed and sharpness, IMO. I'd use Auto ISO and let go to 6400. I'd much rather have high ISO noise to contend with than a blurry shot. You're probably looking at wider apertures and shallower depths of field so watch your focus points and keep your shutter speed at or above 1/125 if you can (Auto ISO should help with this). Composition-ally speaking: [B]ISOLATE[/B]. Have a subject for every shot and serve it up hard. No sweeping shots of the entire stage (snore). Get in, get tight on your subject and isolate it within the frame as best you can or, get the shot and be prepared to crop in post. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
