Sunday night was the first night of a new blues dance venue in
Sunnyvale. David, Scott and I all showed up with our cameras.
Dave has a Rebel of some sort, Scott has a Nikon (D70?), and I was
mostly using the K-x.
The lighting was uncharacteristically bright for a blues dance, at least
on one end of the room. I started out with the 16-50, but eventually
swapped to the PFA50/1.4. Dave started out using some zoom that only
opened up to 3.5 but went to some 50, and Scott ended up with his 50/1.8.
Usually when I shoot, I go full manual, but there was enough light for
autofocus. Also the range of light was so great, and changed so quickly
over just a few feet, I ended up shooting in aperture priority mode.
Unfortunately, I didn't notice when I inadvertently muffed up the EV and
was shooting everything a stop or so under for a while. It looked OK
when I quickly chimped the pictures. I really need to learn to chimp
more critically to make sure that things don't go wrong.
Unfortunately, I don't yet have public links for Scott and Dave's
facebook albums. I also haven't had time to go through and carefully
cull out all but the best few to post on flickr, I've been rather busy
getting ready for a trip I'll be going on in a couple of days.
One reason that the Karen, the asian woman with the red pants and dark
top, shows up in so many of the photos is that she is Scott's wife.
