Q. Just wondering-- Roadie #42 has some great pictures in some awkward lighting situations which most cameras wouldn't be able to capture quite as well-- What type of camera does Roadie #42 use?

The Oracle replies:

Roadie #42 uses a Canon 20D with L series lenses. Also Ricoh compacts and to complete the effects, Abode Lightroom & Photoshop CS3.

For those of us with standard digital cameras, may I suggest the following for live shots? Turn to manual setting, disable the flash (auto or otherwise) and select he highest ISO number e.g. 1600. Keep a steady hand and they should definitely turn out pretty well.
