This is the best shot of the red light ones. There's still too much light on the singer's face but at least you can make out his features, if a bit harshly. If it had been decently lit, this would be a fantastic shot of the whole band... (except for the guitarist who chose to stand next to the stage and out of the light most of the time)


[livejournal.com profile] barbcure with full flash, perspective [livejournal.com profile] kneeshooter style. ;o) In hindsight, I should have stopped down the flash which might have resulted in a better compromise between boring flash and red light.


Another OK one, mainly chosen because of the posture.

Right, bed now.

Woo! I've got my own style!

I tend to set my flash down to -2EV or more so it's really just a touch - then try really hard in PS to make it less obvious.

*grins* If I hadn't seen odd angles to capture as much as possible in your photos I wouldn't have thought of trying it.

*nods* For some reason, I didn't think of it.
Also, this was the only reasonable shot as there was too much fog in the other flash photos.
A decent flashgun is on next month's shopping list so I can bounce off walls or the ceiling which should improve things as well. Unfortunately, my old Metz with a Nikon hotshoe I had for my F301 won't talk to the D70, not even if I put both on manual.

You won't go wrong with an SB-800 - I bought two! Tho' since your D70 can do "commander mode" I guess an SB-600 would work as well.

The SB-800 is a bit out of my budget but I'm looking at the SB-600 as the difference in specs doesn't quite justify the difference in price for me currently.

But I thought that you just loved using flash...

Will do. I should have them all up in a proper album by Monday, anyway. I did take over a hundred photos, completely filling my 1GB card. I need a second one asap as I probably won't shoot anything but RAW now.
