Gym shoot

[minnnt]

Was invited along by a friend to help shoot a gym last night. There were lots of flashing lights and colours everywhere that i didn't really know how was best to deal with them.

So, looking for a few pointers and critique.

Thankyou Please.

#4 - Wish i'd took the time to spin the bags or sway them a little in this shot as the exposure was nice and long. Meh!

For me 4,5 6 are the best as don't suffer from colour overload/excessive tints - although one or two tinted ones in a larger collection would probably be ok.

More to the point what feeling do you/ requester want to achieve?

In my view, would be better with people in them too but I realise that can be difficult - especially as to make it welcoming to all-comers you might need to include people who aren't all young fit and beautiful (speaking as someone who is none of those)

Thanks Chris. The owner wanted bright and colourful but like I said I wasn't really sure how to go about it. The led lamps were constantly changing so it was difficult to get a shot without it just ending up grey.

I too wanted people in it but the owner wanted it done when it was shut.

If you look at #2 there are a few people still there so I got a ninja style shot and with it being a long exposure it's had a nice effect imo with the movement etc. Would have loved 15 people in there to work with.
