I was to document the opening of a new club: show off the facilities, catch the opening night band, dancing, drinking, and try to snap some of the staff too. Here's a small set of 12 of the more interesting shots (of the 74 finals delivered to The Brawley brass): http://flic.kr/s/aHsjG1qjie The Brawley Opening All taken with my K20D, DA* 55, DA* 16-50 & DA* 50-135. The first three staff shots (wait, bar, kitchen) were lit with a used $30 AF200T in an 18" softbox on a monopod, gelled 1/2 CTO, and wielded by my able assistant (my wife). I precomputed the flash exposure assuming a fixed rough distance to the subjects, then set the shutter to let in ambient room light about two stops below the key. When WB adjusted for the orange gel, the background goes a blue tint to give it that cool look. The west wing and patio shots are HDR, as you've likely guessed -- apologies in advance. I used Nik HDR Pro and it's pretty good, but I'm not really an HDR kinda guy. I just figured these facilities shots would benefit from that Marketing Imperative where Over The Top just isn't good enough. :-) Most of the dark club dancing and band shots were taken at ISO 3200. In the past I dismissed that as useless on the K20D but they clean up nicely with Nik Dfine, so I'm coming to rely on it now. (It even removes colour banding well so I'm going to go back and revisit some of my "lost" K100Ds shots.) Comments welcome, as always. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
