The Photography Thread!

Gig went alright actually, what I've learnt;

- Autofocus, expect to work without/unsuccessfully with it unless there's a fill light or the performers don't mind the AF assist beam firing.
- Flash, needed so fking much.
- 50mm primes, great for when you're in a press pit or the band are moderate distance away, other than that expect some close up shots.
- ISO, I knew I'd be on ISO 1600 all night, yeah it's a bit noisy but not too bad, would have loved a 550D or 50D though so I can go up to 6400
- Be mindful of what you're wearing round your neck. Nearly went cameras first into the stage so had to quickly shield them from damage lol. Also decided I'd launch a glowstick, bad idea. Felt the cameras flail about violently, heart skipped a beat lol.
- 2 cameras are a necessity. Had an f/1.8 50mm on one and a 28-80mm on the other, last time I'd been to the venue they had a fill light so was banking on using the 50mm without a flash, they didn't this time, still made use of them though for different effects.


But yeah, the pics;
