    Not owning a TV set, I have absolutely no idea who any of these are, but as a record of an event, they do the job admirably. well done.

    PS You should have lied
    The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.

      You did an excellent job, Kyle and I see you had no focussing problems. You've earned the right to feel proud of these.

        Sadly I do recognise them all but can only remember half of their names
        Nice journalistic shots in a situation where you needed to be on your toes.

          Can only agree with all of the above... even to the point of telling a porky. Well done indeed.

          The only ones I recognise are the two tossers from Geordie Land.

            Originally I was given tickets for the evening show, but I photo shopped them to change them to the afternoon show and got in without problems. The thread about focusing in dark light was in regards to the evening show. But thank god I got in with the afternoon show.

            The 50-200mm SWD performed extremely well and I'm glad I bought it just in time for the show. Majority of the inside photographs were taken at:

            1000 or 1250 ISO - 1/180th and at F5.3.

            I could of gone higher with the aperture but more light would of been lost and I couldn't afford to bump the ISO up even more, especially when grain shows more easily on a cropped sensor.

            Thanks for all your feedback.

              Haha, take 10 extra bonus points for ingenuity and another 5 for brazen cheek! I can see you will go far!

              I thought the light was rather reasonable when compared to how you described it. With no focus issues to worry about shooting wide open was the right decision.

                Great set of photos.

                I once shut a door in Ant's face. Accidentally of course. It was a couple of years ago at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff. I was there to drive one of the judges (Amanda Holden I think, I've driven most of them at one time or another), went into the stage door reception and let go of the swing door not realising that someone was behind me. Looked over my shoulder (too late) to see the door shutting straight in the face of Ant. Oops!

                  Ah, that explains a lot about Ant!

                  I think with Amanda Holden on my arm I'd shut doors in the face of every other male who got close! When she was in the car did you take the scenic route or drive straight to the main destination?

                    When I drove her from hotel to Millennium Centre I was told to take the scenic route as they hadn't finished filming the previous judge arriving. It was a hardship I can tell you!

                      I guess that was just two of the perks of the job!
