I was photographing at a friend's blues jam last night, using it as a
chance to practice band photography. I decided to try using autofocus,
and the handy af point selection.
Looking at the photos, almost every one focuses on the microphone
instead of the musician. How about an autofocus mode where the camera
looks for something to focus on a little bit behind the default? This
would be handy for both musicians and birds in trees.
At the beginning of the evening, I tried a few using the strobist
suggestion of putting my flash on a monopod, and that seems very
promising, except for the detail that I end up short one hand, until I
come up with a harness to hold the monopod or something.
Get a lightweight stand instead of the monopod.
