Lighting Question

[David Thrasher]

I was in the middle of a big project and didn't get a chance to weigh in 
on the message about the lighting question. As I recall the person 
(don't remember who it was) was trying to shoot a musical performance on 
a stage that was lit by spot lights or some sort of very directional 
stage light and was having problems with the exposure shifting when 
shiny instruments would turn and bounce light into the camera.

Here's a solution to look for: Many camcorders will allow you to lock 
your exposure when you've got it where you want it or you might check to 
see if it has a manual exposure option. Either way once you've set it 
and locked it down it won't shift on you.

Hope that helps.
