I went to JJ's blues last night. There wasn't anyone to dance with, so I played with the camera. K-x with FA 77.
The light balance at JJ's seems to have been scientifically engineered to make it impossible to get decent photos, without actually doing anything at all artistic or creative. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157624167766640/ but you may find this link easier to look at http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157624167766640/ As usual, it seems that once I threw away all the ones that were total trash I was left with my choice of a sharp photo, or a good moment. These were tough because she had come down off the stage, out of the light, into the crowd and the guy was about two feet from me, which is a bit close for the 77: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4653730416/in/set-72157624167766640/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4653113687/in/set-72157624167766640/ I didn't have time to bump the ISO, so I just cranked the shutter speed down "enough" which ended up being 1/8 second. Despite the blur, I kind of like them. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
