The "Post your pictures here" thread.

sunday afternoon and some time to kill, so i dragged my wife out for some shots in a nature reserve. The sky was a boring shade of white, so i took an umbrella and flash along.

thanks for the comment -

Kit is just a 500d. the lens is the tamron 17-50 non vc (BARGAIN!)

I used a 14quid umbrella/softbox from ebay and a $40 yn460II.

Awesome, isn't it great when bargains turn out to be brilliabnt!

I have the Nikon 50mm 1.8 and i'm absolutely over the moon with it and it's my cheapest lens, £90!

I definiately need to get myself a umbrella/softbox, I don't suppose you have a link for it?

Last nights gig

Flare · 23 Jan 2011 at 20:26

Great picture Benjo! I really need to get into gig photography, I now a few even organisers around Manchester so that should make it easier to get some gigs

I would also mainly be going to Dubstep and DnB nights

What gear and settings did you use for this picture? I'm not quite sure where to start with this sort of stuff. I have done a couple of gigs but that was almost by accident because i just took my D90 down to get pictures of me and friends but then everyone wanted pictures, next thing i knew i was on stage!

Thats exactly how I got this gig

I'm good friends with the promoters and DJ's for that gig, so I was the first person they asked to do the photos

The person in the photo is Cookie Monsta, got some more dubstep gigs lined up

I was using a Canon 30D with a Sigma 8mm + external flash to bounce it off the ceiling. Was my first gig so I was a finding it hard to get the right settings. I think I had it on Manual for the whole night, 1/50 shutter speed, 3.5 aperture (lowest for the 8mm) and ISO400.

Haha awesome! I wasn't even going to take my camera, i just grabbed it last second and then every one wanted in on the pictures

AAAHHH I knew i recognised him! Where and when was this? He does some amazing sets doesn't he? I shot on manual as well but i was absolutely wasted which made for quite a bit of variation in settings

I need to get myself a wide angle lens like that. I got a Nikon Speedlight for Christmas which i haven't taken out to any gigs yet but i can't wait to see how much better the pictures are because of it.

He did a good set yeh, but in all honesty Small Time Krooks put on a much better show

This was last night in Plymouth, Voodoo Lounge
