I have a gig coming up at the start of December. I will be photographing a dance performance (two actually) that is being put on by a Professional Dance company for a School. The school supposedly has a state of the art stage and possibly lighting system to go along with it.
This type of photography is new to me and I hope some of you out there with experience in this could lend some advice and suggestions.
I will be using a Canon 5D (XTi as back-up) with a choice of lenses. 17-40 4.0L, 28-75 2.8, and the 70-200 4.0L. I am hoping I will be able to be close enough to have the 28-75 on most of the time because of it's larger constant aperture.
One advantage I have is that the first show will be in the morning and the seating is going to be filled to capacity, but the second show later in the afternoon will be to a half filled auditorium, allowing me for better access and also a better idea of the show.
Any advice and suggestions would be great.
