that guy is a world class douche bag, chris and i met him at a hipster bar. he stared us down the whole time we were there. plus matt reeves of (www.darkroomdemons.com) would outshoot him any day.

wow.. I've met him before and he was very nice.

hey srika

yap, i hear ya this is want the website wants. i know. i obviously need some good wide glass if i am going to keep up with this. i kinda hate it though, i am not a person who likes these places. as for backlighting and ambience? what can i do better? granted i'm shooting with my kit because the nifty is too long? it was my first night out and god i freaked out

well and also yap, yes more body space could've been captured. What do women typically find least appealing to them and guys lets not lie, but a thick lower half. maybe its newbie nonsense but another thing that kinda caught me off was so many people wanted to see the photo after i took it in a very small cramped club. i gave them cards but they insisted on pulling on me. i have a lot to learn. also, i was shooting on camera with a 430 and an index card. i know...listen twice i've read through this monster thread but anything that might be good advice in finding my own style and well just the concept would be great. lumiquest pocket? 580 so i can slave the 430? stofen? fong? i've read through this thing and i guess what i've found is "to each his own" which i understand but i just dont have the money to randomly rent and/or buy stuff to see if i like it. i know blah blah blah but i dont know how else to put it. thanks you legends of the nightlife thread!

=yap'in;7483359]hahaha you know you just wanna yell "i'm in miami b###h" when shooting around the nightclub

I have been yelling "I'm in Miami b^^^h" since the early 90s

Those were the days

first club i went to and my first job hopefully. ive offered my services for free just to get some expereince. currently they have one of the bar members getting photos each week.

i got some photos while i was there but it was really quiet night and one main group celebrating a birthday. it was a sunday. id been in the city on friday and saturday.

im curious though. how do you guys light up your subject with out totally washing out the background lights but still lighting up your subject well enough?

i also spoke to the manager of another club accross the road and he seems keen aswell. best thing is these clubs are 5 minutes from my house.
