I'm playing in musical theater (the "pit band") for 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.' I've been having fun grabbing some candids and some posed shots of other musicians in the pit.
Lighting is exceptionally challenging: stand lights, which by design aren't the brightest bulbs by any measure. I brought the 50mm Summilux in to shoot at f1.4 to help, but that makes its own set of challenges: getting focus for a thin depth of field.
Set the shutter to the slowest I can work with, about 1/60th second, much slower than that and lose too many shots to folks moving. ISO pretty high, 2500-3200 for most.
