I think you need a tripod, and a good zoom with a long exposure. I think you've done pretty well with what you have.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-54841036557323584172009-04-01T08:43:00.000+11:002009-04-01T08:43:00.000+11:00Taa ...Had a quick look at a few and also their pr...Taa ...<BR/><BR/>Had a quick look at a few and also their properties.

Another tough challenge you've set yourself!<BR/><BR/>Maxing the zoom in poor light will make it harder to get a sharp shot - camera shake will be exaggerated, and you won't get the widest aperture the camera is capable of. Similarly using the flash in this situation will reduce the drama provided by the stage lighting.<BR/><BR/>Have a look at some of my <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbooy/sets/72157594287293429/" REL="nofollow">nephew's shots</A> and click on the "more properties" links.

Doesn't really matter: they both have similar problems.<BR/><BR/>I have a few more bills to clear before I can contemplate a d-SLR. But unless I know what I am doing wrong, there is no point in spending money and still get poor quality images. They are bad enough at this size, but when you click they are embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>Aaarrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
