I have just read through 1-2 of the comments on this photo you are presenting for a Paw. I like the concept but, and i'm no back alley, or pro bar shooter by any means(yet<g>)but i think Shel has a good rendition of your shot in the above link. I'm just going on the 4-5 times i have shot my friends, the Nuraw Blooze in clubs. Grainy B&W film and existing light were made for jazz and blues. They insist i shoot them in colour, but, i alsways get some good B&W which BTW they love when they see them.
Hopefully no hard feelings,but the original, to me, just did not portray the "feel" of the club. Not having read all the threads(i have 1200 i'm going over now), was this flash or just well lit. Dave
