Here are a couple of my favorites from a release party, go to my
MySpace Blog to see them all.
For all of these I used the Front flash, I used it front so that the shutter wouldn't have to stay open as long, I still wanted to capture the artist, not just a blob. I like the effect that these show. Keep in mind I had only owned my camera for about 48 hours, and before I had this I was shooting with film - which reacts so differently! But I was pleased with the outcome...
and (below) is a cropped one from the above frame, I like this one a lot, it helped that the guitarist wasn't hard to look at... but, no - really I like the tension in this one better. A friend of mine described this one by saying "SWEET! My favorite is the one where it looks like his guitar is being played by lighting and the guitar strap is on fire!!" (and yes, thats a direct quote)
This one is my personal favorite!! I like the look of this, no this was not edited in any way. I happened to be standing next to someone and I took a frame, and she took one at the "same" time, well the fraction of a second between her flash and mine created this. I love it!!
