Nop,I'm not offended. As I said, I'm still experimenting with the setup, learning what it will and will not do. The cheif advantage of the setup is that it allows me to use a flash in situations where it would otherwise not be possible. Using flash is severely frowned on at these dances. The artistic question is whether not blowing out the colored light in the background, and being able to get a relatively sharp photo with frozen action is worth the monotchrom zombie like look of people photographed with the IR strobe. I expect that once I have a good understanding of IR, it will become a tool at my disposal, and certainly not my primary means of shooting. Most of my photos at this venue haven't even made it on to flickr. Here is a quick search for 418 project in my photos, with a lot of duplicates as people asked for proof shots, or I tried alternative processing: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=99496143@N00&q=418%20project > > On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 10:46 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > > At the risk of boring folks here is some more shots with the IR rig. > > The monday dance in Santa Cruz is lit with LED > > spots, which have no IR, so they'd be nicely saturated even if I shot with > > the > > IR flash.
