I take a lot of bad photos. I try things that if they work, are good photos, but when they don't they are not. I like to use slow shutter-speeds a lot to try to keep one element in focus while letting other elements blur. One way to do this id to focus on someone still while life around them moves. Another way is to focus on someone moving and try to move with them at the same rate. The latter is much more difficult and my success rate at this is pretty low. I've had a few that have worked out and this one tonight I thought worked nicely showing the movement of the actors on stage during rehearsal for 'one bad apple' at the Meadville Community Theatre. I like to photograph theater because the lighting is usually directional and often times you can make a nice picture just utilizing the lightings dramatic affect on the action and composition. Thats what I concentrated mostly on tonight, but ended up liking this simple panned shot of some of the action in the opening sequence of the play the best.
