Went to a friend's gig last night. Low light, bar atmosphere. All pics were at least ISO 640. Decided to give the LS PJ II a test drive but ended up taking it off as having that + 80-200 was starting to become a bit bulky.

Switched between 20 2.8, 50 1.8 and 80-200 2.8 the whole night. Learnt a thing or two about getting the right setting for fill flash though so that I could still preserve the coloured spotlights and still have the person's features capture.

Also I went there just to take photos of his band, but ended up taking photos of 3 other bands as the members and a few patrons asked me to.






The rest of the gallery.

Great job Wayne! You've nailed the exposures and fill as far as I can see. The lads should be happy wiht the results too I would imagine.

Some excellent shots, here and in your gallery.

Thanks guys.

Simon, have just emailed it to them so will wait for feedback.

It was a pain as I think the light levels kept varying depending on the band or track. Also when the guys move around, different levels of light get reflected from them and their instruments.

Some else I learnt...photographing drummers who are tucked away in the corner is a pain! Didn't bother trying to preserve the lighting then...
