backroader Loc: Wherever we park our motorhome

These photos are from the Amargosa Opera House performance we just attended in Death Valley Junction, Ca. This is not someplace you expect to attend a professional dance/ballet performance. I guess it was more like a solo recital since the Jenna McClintock was the only dancer. This place has a fascinating history which I recommend anyone interested Goggle and read about the place and how it got started by Marta Becket in 1967 in the middle of nowhere! I am posting the first photo because I would like to know if anyone knows how to use LR to diminish or get rid of the light spot caused by the lights in the room or the camera flash. I do not normally shoot at night in a dark opera house in the middle of the Mojave Desert! The photo with Jenna dancing was taken without flash during the performance and I didn't think I did too bad as a beginner at this kind of photography.

Thanks for the tip backorder, I have just googols Amargosa and yes, its a very interesting place, quite amazing, a place for the purists and a please I would love to visits and see a performance.
As for you little problem, you should be able to remove your white blob in photoshop or similar, and also can I ask what ISO you choose when shooting here? assuming they don't allow flash photography?

ISO was on auto. Since I don't do this type of photography very often and didn't think about what to do when I got there, I was totally unprepared when the lights dimmed and I didn't want to bother those around me.

The performance is recommended by us! I probably wouldn't spend a lot of money to get to it specifically, but, why not when you are in the area! There are amazing little intrigues in our world we don't even know about and a lot of them are quite amazing!
