NZ Aria 2017 finalists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last night was the finals of the NZ Aria 2017. This one of the annual photographic jobs that I look forward to and was the 9th time I have covered the event. As always it was an excellent evening of music with fabulous talent on display backed by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra<\/a> conducted by Maestro Johannes Fitsch.<\/p>\n

The winner was Jarvis Dams who I have photographed as a finalist a number of times and who started competing at the NZ Aria as a boy soprano. It has been great to see him develop and I expected him to do well after having heard him in rehearsal in the afternoon. His performance of Puccini’s Questo amor<\/em> was beautiful and well deserving of the win.<\/p>\n

Second place went to Monyoung Jang’s moving performance of Gounod’s, Ah! Je veux vivre . <\/em><\/p>\n

Third place went to Boyd Owen singing Puccini’s Che gelida manina. <\/em>I have photographed Boyd in previous finals and his placing was well deserved. If he returns again it wouldn’t surprise me to see him as the winner.<\/p>\n

Guest artist was previous NZ Aria winner, Jud Arthur who performed a number of classical musical numbers including Old Man River<\/em> and the Gershwin duet, Bess, You Is My Woman Now, <\/em> with his wife, Taryn Fiebig.<\/p>\n

Rotorua Daily Post report<\/a> using my photos.<\/p>\n

From a technical perspective it is a relatively simple event to cover with constant lighting making manual exposure easy. I routinely use a full frame DSLR (Nikon D700, D3s, D800 and now D810) with a 70-200mm f2.8 tripod mounted on a gimbal head. 1\/250s f2.8 and ISO 800 gives me files I can efficiently batch out in Lightroom and export with JPEG Mini<\/a>. This year I added the Nikon D500 handheld with the Nikon 300mm f4 PF lens. The 450mm (full frame equivalent) reach allowed me to get some close-ups of the singers and pushing the ISO to 1600 gave me the equivalent exposure value. The sharpness of the 300mm f4 PF continues to amaze me and I needed to use some negative clarity on some of the files in Lightroom as they were a little too sharp on the stage makeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
