This is a portion of the Scottsdale Bible Church orchestra in a Wednesday night rehearsal. I thought I'd try my new camera out in a not-so-ideal situation. Normally I'd use one of my Canon digital SLRs for this, but I had to see how this camera would do. Overall, I think it did pretty well, though I would do things differently if shooting in a similar situation again.

The camera was set to ISO 800 and I used tungsten white balance. Aperture was f5.0 and the shutter speed was 1/10 second. Joe, the conductor, is a bit blurred from his movement.

I processed using Panasonic's Silkypix RAW developer. I found the noise quite objectionable, so I used Noise Reduction Priority in Silkypix, which helped immensely -- though you can still see quite a bit of noise in the ceiling and in the black tops that the two closest violin players (Joan and Lisa) are wearing. The tungsten white balance was 3050 degrees Kelvin. It was a bit cool, so I increased the temp to 3200K in Silkypix.

The only thing I did in Photoshop CS4 was to slightly defog the picture, and I added a Levels layer to make the blacks more black. I also cropped to a 16:9 format (it was shot in 3:2 format and I thought the foreground -- music stands -- was unnecessary). I do like the star effect in the spotlights at the top of the picture.

What would I have done differently? I would have shot it at ISO 400 and used an aperture of about f3.5, focusing on Joe (or perhaps Joan's music) and living with a little less depth of field. With this camera, I will be sticking with ISO 400 and lower unless I absolutely have to have the extra light sensitivity. This camera did pretty well with this shot. In comparison, my Kodak C663 point-and-shoot would have totally bombed on a shot like this.

Panasonic Lumix TZ15 + INON S-2000 strobe with "wireless" trigger. F3.3 @ 1/30, ISO200, normal shooting mode, spot metering, auto white balance. Here, I think the auto white balance did a good job. The slightly reddish cast probably came from the torch I was holding to help the camera focus since the INON does not have a focusing light.
