night club photos (NWS) (2)

So I've finally found a set up I like. rocking the 2 flash set up now with 2 580EXII's which have much more communication with each other that a 580EXII with a slave 430EXII. using one flash on hotshoe as main light, and second off camera as fill.
this particular club has 2 rooms, one all red, and one all black so bouncing isn't easy

Hey DSTYLEZS, Fur nightclub is looking for a house photographer for friday/saturday nights. Just thought you might want to know.

I'll keep you updated on this... To many stories going on behind the scenes, need to get more info from Ahmed and Romeo

I just got access for Ultra Music Festival!! 2nd year covering it!

Have a few other events around town. Hope to see some of you around!

^ must be nice :P

Just got access to the red carpet for the Ultra Music Festival movie premiere too! Has anyone here ever done a red carpet before? Any tips?

Now I'm nervous. :-p

What, what?! What's going on? I like juicy gossip.. lol

Eek, came home with the Samyang 8mm fisheye today. Thinking about flogging the tamron 10-24 and getting the 17-50mm 2.8 - then sticking with the fisheye for wider club shots.

Am I safe to shoot wide open (f3.5) with infinite focus distance and almost everything will be sharp?! Or am I better dropping it down a stop?

Red carpets are a walk in the park. To be honest, you'll be bored out of your mind since it involves a lot of waiting around since invariably they get started late. Basically they are usually well-lit so you can often just shoot using the ambient light. It's really a classic case of "f8 and be there".

Hey guys, I hardly post here, but man everytime I log in I see more and more awesome stuff! Good job guys....

Here are a few pics

Gabriel and dresden..

The fisheye was fun! Still need some practice though, don't realise exactly how much gets picked up this wide...

Brandsanity: It's the limitations of your sensor. What ISO are you shooting at?

Usually 6400 or 12800. Thought the noise would be removable in post but just makes the images look soft! Think dropping down to 3200 would be better - it's just so easy to use the higher ISOs when they're there though. Especially when the clubs are so dark at times I struggle to get faster than 1/10 at ISO 12800

Does anyone have any tips for moving through a crowd, flood with ambient light, and attempting to use light trails at half a second shutter, obviously with second shutter curtain on the external.

Is it a feat impossible in practice? I find that ghosting is inevitable. I'm working with a FEC of +2/3. I'm thinking I should move it up to +1 and hold the flash a little behind my head. That way hopefully the second flash will force my subjects above the ambient.

This right? I've been working about a month and a half now at a weekend job, fri and saturday. New to the game and all so I've been experimenting excessively. Love it though.

Those fisheye crowd shots look good
