Cu/ttin - uMichofiaG St. Gertrude's Catholic Church, Oshawa, was the setting setting for the marriage of Brenda Lynn Curtin and Scott John Nicholas on Saturday, August 2nd, 1986. Father Brian Pekeski officiated at the ceremony. The organist was Ron Weroski and the soloist was Louise Coulter. The bride is the daughter of F®CUS The Roar of the Crowd Ahh, the sweet smell ol greasepaint. The roar of the crowd. If you enjoy theatre nearly as much as photography (or, forsoothe, vice versa), you've probably thought about taking your camera along on opening night. Perhaps you've even taken some photos of your favorite favorite troop of travelling thespians. If so, how were the results? Fair at best? Then consider yourself lucky. For, unless you take some steps to ensure good in-theatre photos, you'd better have a giant-sized rabbit's paw dangling from your camera strap. Shooting good-quality photos during a play, a concert, or a dance performance is tougher than you might imagine. Here are just a few of the problems with which you're likely to deal: 1. ) The costumes are great; the staging, superb; but when you view the scene from Row 16 of the mezzanine, it's hard to tell whether you're shooting a scene from Death of a Salesman or a gaggle of geese flying south for the winter. 2. ) When the house lights are up, your in-camera meter registers 1/250 second at f/4. But when the house lights go down and the stage lights come on, exposure drops to 1/15 second -- too slow for shooting anything but a road kill with a tripod and cable release. 3. ) The 753 exposures you made of your daughter's leading-roll performance in Annie Get Your Gun come back from processing. The results look more like you photographed three acts of Annie Gets Herself Jaundice. 4. ) No more than 16 bars and a couple exposures into the local symphony orchestra's rendition of Verdi's La Foiza Del Destine, and six burly ushers are perched on Ihe arms of your seat, whispering sweet somethings in your ear: "Can the Camera or pound the pavement." pavement." What can you do? Here are a few suggestions. First, don't shoot any performance without first checking with management management regarding photo policies. At many outdoor productions, rock concerts, and jazz or pop performances, patrons are encouraged to bring and use their cameras--for personal, not commercial, use only. Also, whether or not you're formally admonished from using flash, good sense says don't. Flash can throw a performer offstride and may even distract a dancer to the point of serious injury. In addition, flash can be annoying to many of the other patrons, each one of whom has no less right to an enjoyable performance than you do. How do you capture a low-light scene without flash? Simply select a fast enough film for the job. An ASA 400 film will suffice for most situations, and it comes in both negative and slide types. For super- low-light shooting, try pushing your ASA 400 slide film to 800 ASA, or bring along a roll or two of Kodak's new 1,000 ASA negative film. Even if you don't need it, it's nice having the assurance of knowing you have it on hand. A fast film will also help keep that shutter speed up in the hand-hold- able area. If your camera Is loaded with 80 ASA film and your meter recommends a speed of 1/15 second, shifting film to 160 ASA will give you 1/30 second; 400 ASA, better than1/60 second; 400ASA pushed to 800 ASA, better than 1/125 second; and 1,000 ASA, nearly 1/250 second -- fast enough to freeze any on-screen action short of a .32-caliber bullet discharged from Annie's gun. How do you get close enough to the action to fill the frame with a performer and eliminate extraneous back-and foreground? If you're shooting an amateur production or an outdoor rock concert, you may be able to take your camera up to the stage for a quick shot or two. But the best way by far is to stay in your seat and use the right lens. Assuming you have a camera that accepts Interchangeable lenses (and if you're serious about shooting theatrical events, you should have), slip on a 100, 200, or 300 mm telephoto or -- better still -- a zoom lens with a maximum focal length of 100 mm or more. Several manufacturers currently make zooms In the range ol 80-200 mm. Many of them have the added advantage of being fairly "fast," meaning meaning they're fitted with a wide maximum aperture. A lens with a wide maximum aperture allows you the luxury of shooting with a faster shutter speed than does a lens with a smaller maximum aperture. Another advantage of using a zoom lens at a theatrical event Is the lens' ability to help you control composition. You can crop out unwanted or distractive, elements from the scene and "zoom in" on the portion of the subject you want. All without moving from your seat. Finally, be aware of the color of the light illuminating your subject. One scene may have balance approximate to average daylight, in which case you can use daylight-balanced film and gel perfectly realistic results. But as the performance progresses, the lights may change to tungsten - only, which will give you a yellowish cast to your daylight film. You can sidestep the problem by switching to tungsten-balanced slide film or put a color-compensating filter over your lens and continue shooting your daylight-balanced film. Your photo dealer can help you select the proper compensating filter. Taking photos at a public performance Is easy, once you know the ropes.

From Lawn Bowling Greens By AbMavin On Saturday, Sept. 6, your truly went to the Baxter tournament in Oshawa as lead with Marg Perris as Vice/Skip and Clarence Oke as Skip. We bowled extremely well in the first two games which were bowled on the West Greens, defeating E. Carswell 20 to 8' and Gord Terwillegar 18 to 12. Then we moved to the East Greens where Ab and Marg seemed to lose their touch, leaving their skip down 2 and 3 leaving their skip down two and three for most ends and losing to Steffan 18 to 11. These three were all Oshawa teams. Unfortunately, four teams failed to show up causing a late start and a very late finish. We did not get all the scores but do know that Len and Ella Dawson plus Jack Tisdale of Oshawa won first prize with a score of 613, with the Steffan family second with a score of 595.
