I took a few shots at a dress rehearsal for a local theatre group (my 5 year old is a member). I have never took stage shots before. I used my Canon 400d, 135mm f2.8 manual focus lens on adaptor, no flash, high ISO.

How do these look? They are some of my favourites from the evening.

    The stage presents challenging conditions - well done! #4 is my favorite. The only one I'm not sure about is #3 - the girls are so prominent in the frame that even with the shallow dof I find myself looking at them before the character behind them.

    Thanks. I know what you mean about number 3, but maybe I look at it differently - I am a teacher, so he grabs my attention first. Then I look at the kids and think "Get that shirt tucked in and that tie done up straight!" :D
