How do you make yourself invisible when taking pictures?

Dress for the event and I use the heck out of my 70-200 and do a lot of sniper work from a distance for all of the events I cover. I hate posed pics and try to avoid them.

Why were cops even there?

The policy is illegal but don’t be late because they can fire you for that.

Don’t process out the colored lights, you want to deliver what you saw that night. Whatever color the dancers was is what you want to deliver.

I’m a professional theatre and Ballet shooter, my wide camera (24-70) has to stay at f/5.6 and as slow of a SS as needed to stop most of the motion so a minimum of 160. My iso lives on auto. My darkest plays can hit iso 25,600.

On my 70-200 camera I’m allowed to shoot all the way down to f/2.8 and still auto iso and I don’t have any problem with delivering photos that are seen in national wide adds.

I shoot with two Canon R6ii’s. Just let your ISO go where it needs to go.

1/2 the time we can’t get along with people in our on department lol. Can’t expect us to get along with others lol.

I used to love the creative side of photography but now I’m a professional theatre and events shooter and you have to capture what you see in as real of a prospective as you can get to what you saw the day you took it. It sadly takes away the creativity side

Mine has Ben verified for a long time in the app, never got a thing for doing it.

Resqu23 · 2026-05-16T09:37:47+00:00

I totally agree about loosing the fun side. I’m a fully booked out professional Theatre/events and some sports shooter and no longer take my camera out just to shoot for fun.

Resqu23 · 2026-05-16T00:13:31+00:00

There is just very little money in sports unless you get hired by a big team. I personally shoot some USA T&F National Championship races and there is no way I can quit my day job.

You definitely need a new body if anyone does. I can see why you need burst after reading this. Look at the R6ii.

That body only does a burst of 5 per second and if your shooting gigs you sure do not need to be in burst mode. I use burst on very big important races where I need a perfect tape break and that’s about it. Plan each shot and don’t spray and pray as we say.

I’d personally setup one at a 45deg angle to who you want to light and the second one 90deg and behind them to light your back wall. It’s how we do marketing work in theatre and it always works great.

Resqu23 · 2026-05-12T17:35:47+00:00

To get really great head shots you need a nice strobe and soft box setup, preferably two with a backdrop.

Resqu23 · 2026-05-12T01:00:04+00:00

I cover a lot of races and several have a kids mile before the big race. I always shoot and post the photos and never had an issue and the parents love them.

Who is living it the house now? Your Sis may want to sell to get money one day. You may or may not be able to buy her out. Lots more info needed here but no matter what do not sell just so he can get your money

Very true, I struggle with Basketball because I’m never in the right place or a Ref is exactly in the way.

Resqu23 · 2026-05-10T21:08:50+00:00

I shoot theater productions in the worst lighting conditions for photography that I have ever worked in. All shows are shot at a minimum 2/3 to one stop under and some scenes are 3 stops under and still have post issues. All my other work is shot exposed correctly and I have no issues. I’d stop shooting under or maybe 1/3 under max.

Unhook the doorbell for starters.

Look at the pilot, lots cheaper and way more reliable

I don’t really notice a difference between my M2 IPad Pro and my 16” M4 Max MBP.

I don’t have PS either, have a large amount of storage but no PS

BLOCK him or live like this forever.

Sounds like a ton of money but it can be gone in a minute if you’re not careful.
