My son's performance took place inside the Opera House in the Strand district of Galveston. It was a bit dark in there, but fortunately I was still shooting everything with the 3800, so white balance and exposure wasn't a problem. Even so, this photo required some post-capture work to brighten it up a bit.
Andrew hated to have his picture taken. He would run and hide whenever a camera (particularly mine) would point in his general direction. In family situations indoors, knowing that my subjects had to stay still in non-flash photos, he would remain in constant motion.
But on this day his photo-phobic tenacity actually was amusing. During his time on stage - and even during the performance itself - he would keep track of where I was in the auditorium and deliberately position himself behind someone, thwarting any attempt to have his picture taken (he was a percussionist, so not stuck in a chair). It was a cat-and-mouse ploy that had me laughing out loud by the time the performance was over...
