Scott, do you leave IS on when hooked up to a tripod?

What you're likely noticing in the Dragon Con pics from the K10D is the built-in image stabilization (IS). In the low-light environment of a convention hall, that IS would be invaluable for getting good shots. After owning the Canon S1 IS (with built-in IS, as you know), I upgraded to Nikon's...

Westley: Look, are you just fiddling around with me or what? Fezzik: I just want you to feel you're doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed. --The Princess Bride Me? I prefer them to be as easy as possible. I'd love a 20-way tie for first, as long as I was in the pack!

:D @ Brook Thanks John, it was fun!

Great idea Jon. Looking forward to this one. I'm already in defiance of one of your statements -- I think I know one of these shots, but can't think of the other one!! I'll have to give it more thought.

No idea. and I was hoping for a gimme for the last round. :frowning: Thanks, John -- it's been fun!

I thought I did from the first shot (though I couldn't place my finger on the right film), but the second shot threw me for a loop. I'm anxious to find out what this one is. JKS

I should have kept my mouth shut. #19 is going to eat me alive until I come up with the right answer! Thanks for the update John.

It's showing for me now -- wasn't last night, though.

Um...what are the chances that someone who didn't get it from the first shot WILL get it from the very similar second shot?

Nice! The aqua lighting in the smoke is great! I especially like the middle one with 3 different lights on the 3 people in the frame. Good work, Kyle! Hope you had fun at the concert besides getting some good pictures!

Kudos to Bill for getting #10 from the first shot. After I saw the second shot, I realized that I should have gotten it from the first. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda....

Also, depending on the lighting, consider center-weighted or spot metering. Sometimes with bright spotlights on the artist and dark backgrounds (as is often the ideal for concerts), the camera will tend to overexpose. It 'sees' lots of darkness and only a bit of brightness and tries to...

I was clueless on shot 7, until the second shot came along. I haven't seen The Illusionist, but it appeared that 7b could be from that film and that kind of looked like an Ed Norton hairline. Fortunately, I quickly checked IMDb -- and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but: a...
