[Leica] High School Version of The Crucible

[dnaplasmid at compwrx.com (Aram Langhans)]

Thanks, Frank.

This was a real performance and I was sitting in row two of our HS 
Cafetorium.  I used manual metering and just set it once using the 
multipattern mode of the R8.  I might have made slight adjustments on some 
that were darker lit, but I do not remember ever using the spot meter.  The 
slides do show a color shift, but I corrected as best as I could in PS. 
When you are surrounded by parents of the students they don't mind a bit if 
noise from the shutter, but the R8 isn't that loud.  I've been shooting the 
plays for a few years now and have a blast doing it for the kids and the 
drama teacher.  I'm the only one he allows to do this.
