[Leica] IMG: Opera and Singers

[hellman at comcast.net (Jesse Hellman)]

I've added two new albums, Verdi's Falstaff and Berstein's Candide.

I tried to do pictures of the stage productions at the Peabody  
Conservatory that worked artistically, rather than just as  
reproductions of what the director set up. This seems to have been  
easier in the smaller productions, where I could get closer.  
Sometimes it seemed impossible. Close ups almost always worked better  
than pictures from a distance, which never seemed to capture the  
feeling of the work. On the big stage the 135 F/2.8 was at times just  
too short.

Using a Leica for these pictures allowed me to get pictures without  
bothering anyone, even in a full theater, and even just feet from the  
singers.

Thanks for any feedback.
