Together As One - New Years in LA

Rukes · 2nd of January 2008 (Wed)

There are a few massive events here in LA every New Years, so here are my pics of the one I usually shoot, Together As One:

Together As One's amazing lineup included Sasha & Digweed, Ferry Corsten, Deadmau5, Cedric Gervais, Lee Coombs and Dieselboy!

From Deadmau5...

...to packed house!

I have been using my fisheye more and more lately, just have to find the right situations to use it for, which are generally crowd shots from the right angles. Fisheye shots are extremely cheezy looking unless you get them just right.

Funny thing too, Saturday was ATB at Vanguard. Since it was raining outside, everyone was packed inside, making it a Paul Van Dyk type night. It was like a sauna in there. Since there is so much glass on the fisheye, it would fog up almost instantly. I had to hold it under an air conditioned output and wait for the right moment to run to the DJ and hope for a good shot before it fogged up again:

As you can see, the shots worked, but I always hold the fisheye lens like I do the other ones and my finger sneaks into the shots on the lower-left corner :P

I'm guessing you held the lens in the AC and got it cool and then the high humidity caused it to fog! Nice shots, nice finger!

Thanks! Yes, I delete bad pics while I work, so when I get back, I have a final gallery of pics to upload

Nice. You get more consistent flash exposures then I do then
