Nice Vic! And salamat talaga for the opportunity to shoot - sa uulitin!
On another note and if I make a suggestion - would it be alright if we give a background on how we conceptualize our shots and how we get our shots given the environment? I know that we already have some form of this by asking posters to give their settings - aperture/shutter/etc, but to have more value, there has to be a logic behind selecting these settings (hope I'm making sense).
For example, when you sent the invite, I already asked the following: a) where will we be shooting from and b) what's the lighting like?
Based on your reply - I got an idea of what equipment I need to bring - lens, body, tripod, etc.
On the day of the shoot when we got to the theater, ano ba papasok sa isip nang photographer?
1. Oops. Madilim! (Pano ba ako mag-shoot? Shutter priority? Aperture priority?)
2. Ooops. Iba-iba color temperature nang mga ilaw! (JPG ba ako? Or shoot in RAW?, bakit?)
3. Oooops. Hindi kaya nang lente ko ang dilim at bilis nang performers (Ano puwede kong gawin? Bump up my ISO? Manghiram nang mas mabilis na lente? Or umuwi na lang?)
4. Ooooops. Ang bilis talaga nang mga dancers! Mahirap maka-timing! (Single shot ba ako? or Continuous AKA machine gun style?)
5. Oooooops. Natapos ang shoot! Pano ba post-processing ko? Ano ba gusto kong i-relay nang images ko?
6. Ooooooops. Nag-post na ang mga kasabay mo mag-shoot! Anak ng @#$@$!!! Pano sila nakakuha nang ganun? Ba't ganun ang kulay nang photos nila? Baka iba pinuntahan nila?
For me, the thought-process from preparation, actual shoot and post-processing is very important. Kasi, when a similar opportunity to shoot comes along, I would know what to watch out for. Masarap matuto at masarap mag-improve ang husay lalo na't may mga willing mag-share nang kaalaman nila.
