I was recently asked to be the photographer for Forte School of Music’s annual festival at Riverview church at Cockburn Central. It is a day where the students in the school have a chance to get up on stage and perform for their family and teachers. There were two concerts of a different time with different performances by the students and different sets of audience, who are mainly made up of family members of the students.
The first concert started at 3.30pm and another at 5.30pm, so this post is a combination of both concerts.
It was quite a challenge to photograph the event because the only long zoom I have is the 55-200mm, which I personally think is not a fast enough lens for the lighting condition at the venue, so I used a combination of my Tamron 17-50mm 2.8, 55-200mm, 50mm 1.8 and a tripod. Most shots were taken at ISO of 800 and a few 1600, but really if my body could handle 1600 and 3200 well enough I would definitely use those range, but unfortunately it can’t. Perhaps I should really start saving up for a D90 or D300s? Wishful thinking.
Despite the high stress and running around like a madman with my camera from one end of the stage to the other, it was a great experience.
Here are some shots from the event:
