Funny how, in every shot it's visible, the singer looks like she's holding a 
second mike to her chest.  The lighting looks OK to me.

PESO Rachel of Hotsy Totsy

2018-07-30 Thread Larry Colen
This Jazz singer is not Ms. Denoise.  The band Hotsy Totsy (formerly 
Rose and the Honeysuckers) played at the monthly live music night at the 
local swing dance.  I hadn't planned on taking photos, but on my way in 
the band asked me if I was going to, and I took the hint.


I feel that the majority of the aesthetic value of this photo is due to 
the subject matter rather than the photographer.

The lighting absolutely sucked.  Most of the light is above and behind 
the band members.  There is a color changing LED lamp to the left of the 
band, so much/most of the front lighting is in wonky colors.


At one point I got a battery powered LED lamp (from costco) and put it 
on a speaker to try and improve the lighting. It helped but not enough, 
so I went back out to my van and got a LED headlamp and played with it. 
I make it a point to avoid using flash at dances, but I realized I could 
cheat and still avoid using flash.
