On Saturday night I headed out to see my buddy Tim the jazz trumpeter. I last took pix of him with this band about a year ago, so some of the faces may be a bit familiar to some of you. I mostly alternated between three lenses: Tamron f2.5 90mm, Pentax f2.5 135mm and Vivitar Series 1 f2.8 constant aperture 35-85 zoom - all manual focus, but it was so dark in there autofocus was useless anyway. Oh yeah, the shot of the whole band was with my Zenitar f2.8 16mm fisheye (semi-fisheye on the *istD). All shots handheld at between 1/15th and 1/20th, hence the softness to many of them.
I was concentrating on tight shots, because I need some of this band: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-funny-valentine.html Please excuse the poor arrangement; Blogspot is such a pain to organize multiple photos. And yes, they did do My Funny Valentine... ;-) Comments welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
