Monsters are not Myths at the Make-Out Room
My buddies Monsters are not Myths played at the Make-Out Room this weekend. Great venue, but photographically it's kind of weird. The stage is great (and I could roam as I pleased), particularly because there are two levels (so the drummer and bass player were elevated--much better for photos), but the lightinng is so predominantly red that I couldn't even pick up much of anything in the green and blue channels unless I lit with a flash, which was kind of strange against everything else being red.I used two different setups: ambient light shot with an 85mm f/1.2 wide open, and my 17-35 f/2.8 with a flash triggered wirelessly. The ambient light stuff was cool--but with that low depth of field, in that low light, it was hard to keep focus. I had to keep switching to manual which has limited results. Still managed to get some good shots: Couple of classy black and white shots-- Switched to the flash/wide angle for the rest of the show...
