I'm back to gig photography for the first time in a while for this post.
The gig was at
, always a great Wednesday night out - this time an entourage of 5th years and originals from archi course came too. Good fun had by all.
The excellent band was 'Cantaloop'.
As usual the band was happy for me to take some shots (I use the word 'some' in the loosest possible way), as I was doing the gig to benefit my own portfolio anyway.
I have been having fun with my new 7D and it was good to try out the sensor in some difficult low light conditions and see how it compares with previous cameras.
I think it is much better..
However difficult to judge because I am pretty sure the lighting at the Bell has got worse, or darker at least. I was ramped up at ISO 2000 for the most part firing at f/1.8 on the OM 50mm.(However, nice to note how much my high speed manual focussing accuracy has improved with practice)
I found 2.8 on my other lenses just wasn't cutting it, and you just don't use flash at a gig.
Griping over: It's about the atmosphere with these shoots anyway. Tell me how you think I did.
As usual you also can view the set on Flickr
As always cutting criticism and comments via email (tomglendinning.photography@gmail.com) or
, are hugely helpful and welcome.
If you don't like something then please tell me - and try to articulate why, it is tremendously useful to have feedback like this.
