First Live Event - Elly McCabe (Harpist)

After my first unsucessful meeting with Elly (a reason why I don't drink), I was taken to one of her shows where I was truely astounded; such a talented harpist and an amazing vocalist!

This was my first time shooting at a live event. I did have my 430ez on me, but I couldn't get the bounce just right. So I ended up having to fight with the venue's (The Croft, Bristol) stupid, automated lighting -_-

Anyways, here are the images Probably won't be doing any more event photos as it's not really my cup of tea, but feedback's appreciated as always

Thank you It's pretty annoying that the lighting there wasn't consistent

Try direct flash at -2/3 or -1 stop and review how it's blending. It may preserve the background lighting, yet more properly illuminate the subject. Use "stupid" to your colorful advantage.

On stage there are 2 lights that's change into random colours whenever they like in no order or anything. I ended up not using the flash in the end and just dealing with the outcome as they were. Appreciate the c&c though
