Dear /p/.
I asked you before about various tips on stage and cosplay photography. Last week I went into con and did lot of photos (over 780 total) and while I did improved in some aspects (and got new lenses, as you suggested - 35mm f/1.8 and 70-200 f/2.8), I still feel that Im lacking a lot to make those photos interesting. That's why I want to kindly ask you for critique and advices about improving my photos.
I cant figure out how to make cosplay photos look better than what one would call "snapshits". I did gather courage to actually suggest some changes from standard "stand still" in some cases and it shoes the difference but it still seems lacking. Likewise, I cant figure out how to make stage photos more interesting if one is basically confided to one position and cant move around for different angles (I never asked but I guess Im not important enough to ask con orgs for "special" rights). Or without moving around, it's hardly possible? Also, what's general strategy for shooting in such low light conditions on stage? This time I went shutter mode with 1/200s and allowed auto-iso with max 1600 (3200 is noisy as hell since its APS-C and not full frame) so I won't have to correct it mid-shooting and it went out nicely except that roughly half of photos have small motion blurr. So 1/200 is still not enough at longer distances?
I hope you don't mind another photo upload thread and thank you for any advice.
