Disney Themed Burlesque (Possibly NSFW)
Been shooting at a local weekly Burlesque show. I just shoot in manual ISO about 1000 and fairly wide open with a prime it's about f2.2, with a zoom a bit more like f2.8 or a bit more but with a higher ISO to keep shutter speeds about 1/30 or 1/60 or so. As long as you expose only for the bright spots, the shadows will generally go black which is fine.
I started to use AI Servo/continuous focus and less center and more to the top of the viewfinder where the head is gonna be so I can keep their face in focus as they move about. I'm using LR 3 beta 2 which is very versatile and powerful but recently looking at the same RAW files with Canon's DPP seems to show DPP giving much better colors, more details, and sharper image. If only DPP had more features, especially like local adjustments that LR has.
I'm finding that stopping a touch down on the primes to like f2.2 gives a very sharp image, where as zooms (Tamron 28-75) at f2.8 is no where as sharp and even stopped down to f3.2 or so, it's not as sharp. Maybe b/c when stopping down, I'm at ISO 1600 and the shutter speed is even slower.
Anyway, here are some shots from the Disney Themed show.
1. Mulan

3. Sword play.

5. Pirate of the Caribbean. Plundered booty as she claims.
6. A nymph.
7. Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
