Actually, I can correct wide angle. But the biggest distortions in wide angle are at the edges, and I tried to frame things away from that for the most part - but this way i could still get more of the stage (even if it's slight warped). Plus, it let me stay close, meant I could get away with flashes. And mostly, it's because i've been renting and playing with a 16-35mm f/2.8L lens from canon, and it seemed like a good excuse. (Though, to be fair I was also shooting with a 28-70mm f/2.8 lens (alas, not a canon L - that's a mighty fine lens, though)).

If canongrrl is interested in the camera geeking side - I was shooting with a Canon 5d and the above lenses : )

(And a pair of 1 gig cards that meant I was swapping cards every 50 or so shots : )
