Another wondrous example of your series Chistopher - I am fascinated by your excellent post processing procedures in general - The secret?
Great expression and authenticism (Is that a word) LOL!
Top drawer - again!

It's all been said, Christopher. Terrific style and always fascinating to study the characters.

I like this Chris, I really do but I would like to see the reds tone down a little. Of all the people here, I too do stage photography.

When shooting stage photography, one of the hardest aspects is controlling the red levels, then, controlling the spot light blues. The theatre I shoot at has a very high cooling(blue) spot light with downward red lighting.

I always try to leave the colors as what you seen on the stage, which is a little diffacult for me...I'm color blind. But, I have trained myself to do my best with the colors.

Now, my question is, do you add more red to your photos, in post processing? I'm just wondering more then being critical. Hope you know, I have always loved your style!

Chris, please see the example, this is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. this is from the show Pipn. The spot light was on Pipin(cooling light), being crowned King while the rest of the people are in the red lighting(warming light).

#1 Sreten: Thank you
#2 Ceri: Thank you
#3 CherylB(Take me or leave me u'll never change me): Yes, you are right. It looks a bit to reddish. Now I reduced the red tone.
#4 Geordie(Dean Wilson): Thank you
#5 Mark Polis: Thank you.
#6 Amaher(Amaher Amaher): Thank you
#7 Tim Pereira(Sheriff Buford T Justice): Thank you for your feedback. This was not shot in a theatre. I set up everything myself and the building behind the Roman soldiers is a real old building. Now I've reduced the red tone because as you and Cheryl have pointed out was a bit too strong.

#17 Tim Pereira(Sheriff Buford T Justice): I do take photos of shows but I prefer to create my own set-ups because I want to have full control of the poses and lighting. I feel that in a real show I am very limited because I have no control over the poses, lighting and where to stay to take the shoot.
