New York Trip and Playing around With the Camera

I went to New York last weekend with a friend to see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Terrence Howard and James Earl Jones. It was an awesome play and I had a great time...until my camera batteries died...so, there wasn't too much picture taking in New York...this was the first time I had been there since January 2001.

I thought photography would be easier than video and in some cases it is. I can take multiple shots of the same thing or have the subjects do something again so I can try to reshoot. Yet, it's been difficult to get the types of shots I want. (Even when I'm shooting multiple shots.) I think part of the problem is that I'm using an older digital camera with less settings. Despite the limitations, somehow I've been able to get some pretty good shots. With Tim's advice, I've been trying new angles and actually stopped using the flash (gasp!). All in all, I'm learning a lot.
