High School Play

[Holly]

My niece's high school play - "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
I need to check the 20D's focusing - most of the pictures were focused on the wrong thing but other than that I absolutely LOVE this camera!
The last 2 pictures (same one actually) were of her coming over after the play to where we were sitting - she was so proud it was just adorable!

Check the compression when you make the images smaller also, these look quite compressed.

On the focusing a good tip I found I started to use during low light shooting and now all the time is to set your center focusing point to be active only. It is faster and more correct then once your subject is in focus keep your finger on the shutter release button and re-compose the image and take the picture. Takes a little getting used to but in low light shooting it works much better than letting the camera guess on what to focus on.

By the way can you call me on my cell?

I use the center focus point only, also. However, I find that I always have to recompose the shot because what I'm trying to focus on is never in the center of the frame. Especially shooting people, I put the center focus point on the eyes, and then have to recompose while holding the shutter halfway to frame the shot. Of course, I haven't been terribly happy with my low light indoor photos, so I'm open to other methods.
