I mentioned that last night I tried exposing for the stage lights, then relied on the dynamic range of the K-5 to bring the musician out of the murk, here are a couple of those shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5630787898/in/set-72157626398046871
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/5630204611/in/set-72157626398046871/ I suspect that the best non-flash performance would be gained by bracketing ISO, use a really low ISO to get a frame with the lights, then a higher one to get the musician exposed right, without too much motion blur. It's also possible that just a little bit of gridded flash as fill would help. Not enough to overpower the highlights through the hair, but enough to bring out some more details. The lighting at Moe's was pretty challenging, all red and blue (apart from some ungelled tungstens on the lead), but despite my never having shot there before, I think I got a few good ones from the night. -- 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.
