American Idol?

Here is a shot I took of my daughter at a recent high school concert. They were singing songs from "Hair Spray". This was the first concert I shot with my 20D, and the first time I shot at ISO 1600. The 20D at ISO 1600 looks as good, if not better than my Digital Rebel did at ISO 400! I used my 70-200L F2.8 IS (hand held) with available stage lighting.....high school stage lighting.:D



Thanks for looking!

Nice job, with something I know can be very difficult. It has a yellow cast to it, and would benefit from getting rid of that, IMO.

System

yes, mr dto is right on-
took yellow sat all the way down and the photo is a lot closer to color corrected, if not on it-

Thanks...
Hey thanks for the compliments. I tried the PS thing to remove the yellow tint....Better?



And I forgot to add that I shot this at 200mm, F2.8 @ 1/500 sec, with IS on. I wanted to see what ISO 1600 would let me do.

To my eyes, it's a red cast, not a yellow cast. You can tell by the hair, which is meant to be brunette, I think?

You need to find something in the image that you could bet on, and the hair ain't it.

I used the metal railing on the floor behind her legs to get that it was yellow. If not neutral, it should be darn close to it.

EDIT: actually, the ribbed portion of the mic stand, where you tighten it is a better benchmark, IMO.

Actually I used the eyedropper in PS and clicked on the microphone, which is black, and made my adjustment that way. The second picture is pretty true to what it shoud be...on my monitor anyway.

Heck I like them both.....but then again, I'm the DAD!:D

Thanks for the input everyone!
