Get a look at the whole picture
This is one of my favorite shots from Aida, several of which can be found on flickr. Because of several conflicts and such, I ended up being in this show and taking photos. I set up shop, sniper style, up in the old tech booth behind the balcony and shot most of the show at 300mm. There were two songs I needed to dance in during the show, so I would take pictures from the balcony, one scene before I went out, I would run downstairs and around the building, change clothes, go on stage and dance, leave the stage, change again, and run back to the balcony. It was an interesting way to do the show, to say the least.
For this one shot, I went to my wide angle lens, and made two exposures. One was a fast shutter speed for the stage. The other exposure had a shutter speed around 30 seconds that go all of the house. I then photoshopped them together to get this. This was the Act 1 closing song, The Gods Love Nubia, which I was actually suppose to be in. I love the fact that it shows everything, the actors, the audience, the tech stuff, all of it.
