Rum, Coca-cola and Flash Fill
Shelton was playing at Chases, so we went en masse and practically took over the bar. It's been a long while since I've been to that place. I was a little drunk, but managed to discover a new way to use my camera.
Shelton on the guitar and Brian with the vocals. The shot is a combo of long-exposure (3.2 seconds to be exact) and flash fill. I discovered it accidentally when I turned on my flash but forgot to turn off the long-exposure setting in my inebriated state. The effect is to freeze the action but continue to record all the detail in the background... The streaks of light are from me pulling the camera too quickly. Cool photo though, eh? Click on the photo for a larger version.
I took a few more, mostly buddy shots, see them past the fold.
A few more shots using the new thing I found. Mostly just shots of people who wanted their pictures taken, although interestingly enough no one could hold still long enough to freeze the whole frame, but some people moved so fast after the flash that they appear almost as ghosts, without any photo-editing on my part.
