Photos: Blood, Sweat & Beers 3 @ The Annandale Hotel, Sydney 10/07/2010
This mini festival has to have one of the best names, and I was lucky enough to be asked by Blunt Magazine to shoot the action. The Annandale Hotel has a cunning setup, whereby each of their two stages faces the other at opposite ends of the room; when one band has finished playing, all the punters have to do is spin around 180 and the next band is go! One of these stages was lit with the usual vividly-coloured LED mumbo jumbo and the other with very dim house lighting which required a flash. The event was headlined by Melbournites Mid Youth Crisis, so most of my shots were of them. Anyway enough waffle, here are some of my favourites.
Settings
Every setting under the sun! But something like ISO 1600, f/2.8 and ~1/125 for the available light stuff.
Excuses
The un-lit stage was, without question, speedlite domain. I had no trouble with my 580EX II mounted on the hot shoe with the catch card up. The other stage called for the usual treatment of high ISO and clipping colour channels :P In any case it was good enough to get the shots!
