i did a search for taking pictures of shows and i know there are many threads about pictures of the show but i want more advice on taking them. the other night we had photo call for broadway bound which i am running lights for. i recently purchased my camera so i thought i would also take pictures (the main photographer[he got me into photography] was slightly drunk and not that good).
my current inventory is a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 28-70mm 2.8f lens. the next lens i plan to buy is a 50mm 1.8f as soon as i have the money.

those are my shots from the show.
settings:
iso - 800
white balance - tungsten ( i tried a preset but it whited the warms too much)
focal length - ranged from 28-70
aperture - ranged from 2.8 to 4 depending on focal length
mode - shutter priority
focus - auto one point
position - handheld
post:

-cropping
-levels
-curves
-contrast
-high pass filter for sharpening
i find shutter priority is better for me in low light since im using the lowest aperture and hand holding.
what do you recommend for settings and techniques?
