Bonsoir,

  About theatre photography,  I had many opportunities to shoot Le Groupe de
Poesie Moderne here in Montreal.  They all dress in black clothes, have
their face slightly made white with make up and make abundant use of spot
light with dark background.  I get nice results by being present at the
rehearsal and metering (with the M5) on the faces, taking my time.  For my
taste over exposure is a killer.  Bracketing is also a good thing, one stop.

  Regards,
