How can you make an empty stage with bad lighting look interesting? Zoom in slowly baby !

Here I am at the Camerata Classic Orchestra live performance in Kavala few summers ago and while I am waiting for the end of the break I was trying to find something interesting to shoot but the light was just … damn.

So I started experimenting with slow shutter speeds and playing with the zoom until in my view finder I saw a decent shape that kinda reminded me of a flower.

Unfortunately there was a quite tall woman in front of me going frantic for some reason, moving around her hands to fast and hard while she was chatting to the point I was afraid for my well being :-p

So after I moved a few seats sideways until I was relative safe,  I played with the shutter speed and zoom for a few times until I captured this frame.

Around here I must dedicate this photograph to the frantic lady . If she was not there probably I would never move to a better position which allowed to capture this.

To bad I didn’t get her phone number :-p
