For the past two years there's been a weekly dance in SF called The Rent Party. Lindy hop in one room, Blues in another. For various reasons, they decided to close up shop and last night was their final night, with two live bands.
The lindy room had a couple of lights in the middle of the room aimed at the floor, but the musicians were primarily illuminated by a couple of lights aimed at the wall behind them. The blues room was light by four clamp lights, with red bulbs bounced off the walls. Two of which were behind the musicians. I also didn't want to use flash, because it's rather obnoxious when you're dancing in a dark room to have a strobe go off in your face. So, all in all, the lighting was quite challenging. There were a few shots where I just took the bad lighting and tried to see what I could do with it, pushing it even further over the edge in post processing. Not everything is quite as sharp as I'd like, but I think I got some fun shots out of it: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157627311775827/ -- 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.
