AIDs Benefit Concert

The audience seemed to be enjoying the show

Lots of lighting there, so much I didn't need a flash

B&W + Long Exposure + Flash = Really Cool

"The world is spinning!"

The 50mm lens can create some great shallow DOF

I like this one, I really do

One of my favorite photos of the ones I took

FIlm! Real Legitmate Film!

Recently, I came into possession of both a Canon A-1 and a Canon AE-1, two film cameras from the 70s. I got these from my girfriend (they are her dads). Granted, I don't own them, they are just loaners. As of this moment, I have shot 4 rolls of color film and one roll of black and white film. Once I get everything scanned into my computer, I will throw up some examples of my shooting which differs a little bit from my digital photography. With film photography and manual focus lenses, I can't just shoot random things, I have to take my time. Hopefully it will improve my photography as a whole! Nothing has been scanned yet, but be on the lookout!

Kitchen Concert

All the photos below this post were taken at one place, the Aubuchon Kitchen. Now I didn't plan on taking any photos tonight, an opportunity just fell into my lap. I was walking back into Aubie from Commuter and I saw a bunch of people in the kitchen. When I walked in, there was a bunch of people and a band setting up. So I ran upstairs and grabbed my camera, and I managed to get back down before the band started playing. I set up my camera, using my 24-70mm lens and Speedlite 430EX flash, and as soon as they started playing, I started snapping pictures. I have very little experience in band photography and it is something I have always wanted to do. After seeing my cousin's photos (www.distortedperspective.com) some time ago I became inspired to try my hand at band photography. Tonight I took a lot of photos, but I have selected only a few to put up here, and many of them have been processed to enhance the subjects of the photos. Personally I think I did a pretty good job, even though I have not had a lot of experience doing band photography. Many of them are long exposure with the flash shot which gives them that interesting look. Band photography is somethign I really want to do, so if anybody has any suggestions of what I can do better or any events I can photograph, please send them my way.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the photos.

BTW, the band is Stalemate and they are from RI
