Default The Nutcracker

I can't resist spreading some holiday cheer with shots from The Nutcracker. They don't fit the current challenge as they were taken last year.

Love the first shot. Reminds me of days long ago when I used to be in the Eltham Little Theatre. What fun times! Love the colours. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks everyone! They were fun to take, but a challenge too. I don't have a lens quite fast enough to capture such low light. I had to bump up my ISO quite a bit, then take out a lot of the noise in post-processing.

Happy Holidays!

Excellent exposure on all of these under difficult conditions. You did well.
