So, my last day shooting was on 18th December and I've barely clicked the shutter since then - though I can lay blame for that squarely on the flu-related bronchitis that I came down with starting 23td December
Anyways, now that I'm 95% back to normal, I had my first photo op of the year: shooting the band Cooper Temple Clause at their HMV Glasgow in-store appearance. After the obligatory live shots, I got about a thirty seconds with the band to grab some quick headshots for the agency. Here's the band members as shot:
All shots D2X, 85mm f/1.4 lens @ f/1.4, ISO 400, 1/125 sec, fluorescent WB with some bounced fill flash from an SB-800 using fluorescent compensation gel seated in the diffusion dome.
The great thing about shooting using the 85 f/1.4 is that, even in a cluttered environment like a record store, you can get wonderful subject isolation and a very useable image not unlike a dedicated portrait session... all in a few seconds!
Anyways, hope you likey
