The Buddha Prince

I’m starting out my weekend of 80–200mm with photos from “The Buddha Prince” which I saw in Central Park this evening.

A “walking play”, I was instantly confused and intrigued when I first heard this description earlier today. Surprisingly enough, it is a play that involves walking. Telling the tale of the 14th Dalai Lama, The Buddha Prince has the actors and audience walk from one locale to another through the progression of the events in the his life.

Animal costumes range from yaks to crows, and add some needed ambiance to compensate for the sparse sets.

As for the Nikkor 80-200mm F/2.8 AF-D, I’m enjoying it — my only real complaint so far is the need to turn a ring to switch from AF to MF. This is better than flipping a switch in my opinion, but worse than being able to just grab and focus in AF mode, and worse than pulling the focus ring back to switch to MF as on my Tokina 11–16mm.
