WIDATW

Mar 11, 2007 12:10

WIDATW posts have been suspended recently, partly because writing "Sat on a plane" or "Skiied a small mountain" doesn't take a massive amount of space and is probably even less interesting than my normal entry. However last night I was actually "out of the house" and "at a club" which is quite a novelty feeling ( Read more... )

I probably enjoyed it more because the lighting was "challenging" for the photographers at the very least.

Challenging was not the word! My results will be online in the next few minutes (a full run-down in about an hour)...

(And I must have somehow missed you - like many others, it seems - last night...)

I saw you go past once and thought "Must say hello" and then never saw you for the rest of the night. I've shot gigs with worse lighting, but it's very, very tough. Partly because the best shots you can hope to get are silhouettes which throws the camera. "Manual mode and prayer" is the only way.

Which reminds me, I must properly upload my Resonance Live pics and get you to pimp them mercilessly (ok - email the artists and collect plaudits!).

"Manual mode and prayer" is the only way.

Funny you should say that, as that was exactly what I did! This was a gig where the 12x optical zoom on my s3 really came in handy, too - getting to the front was nigh-on impossible for Combichrist, so I hung back a little, and some of them worked really well. I took 340 pictures over the night, of which I retained 77!

Resonance Live: cool - just let me know when...

Dude, you were there? I totally failed to spot you!

I've only just got home and on the pc so I've only just downloaded mine. Not even looked at them yet.

'Challenging' was not the word. I had a 2 minute window each time before smoke billowed in and blocked everything. Even when it was clearing the contrast was so low (and the lighting so dark) that I struggled just to get the bastard thing to take a picture.

Long live rapid fire!

Learning curves. Love 'em!
