Basement Sessions

[Coppatop85]

I visited a good friend of mine near Boston the other night. When me in this friend get together, a lot of scotch and bourbon tend to get consumed. Additionally, we are both photo nerds so lots of pictures happen. I am still recovering from shoulder surgery, but I can operate my camera safely on my own now!

Anyways, after the two of us slammed back a half bottle of bourbon and scotch, my friends neighbors (downstairs) started jamming, and my friend jumped in. I grabbed my camera. Figured I would post em here rather than in the people section.

There was only one light on in the center of the room, all shots were taken with the 17-55 2.8 IS from ISO 1600 - 3200

In hindsight, I wish I grabbed my sigma 30 1.4 to let in some more light, but 2.8 worked well enough!

Or just flash in general, don't get to use it in 95% of the normal shows I do, and I have been wanting to try out some effects like second curtain sync trails and a strobe technique I saw. This would have been a perfect time to use it; I blame the scotch for not thinking of it.

next time!
