Hi guys. Couple of days ago I took some pictures for the university's sound and lighting company (run by students). Basically, the event was a ball, followed by a band, and then DJ later on. My task was to get some nice bandy pictures, to show what the sound and lighting guys can do.
I brought my tripod along for some long exposures of the teccies going about there work, but only realsied that I had forgotten the base plate thing when I got there! Slightly useless when there is nothing to attach the camera to the tripod!
I wanted to have a go at slow-sync flash, but decided against that, as although those might work as publicity shots for the band, they wouldn't be so good for a sound and lighting company, and I didn't have the memory card space to paly around with. Therefore, there was a bit of underexposure going on to get these shots, and the nice rich blacks that accompany them.
And without further ado, I present the shots (only photoshop work is to resize, and desaturate a couple, EXIF still intact).
What I would quite like to know is what you guys would have done differently, either in the taking, or in the processing of these pictures (bearing in mind the limitations of the camera used, fuji s5500, consumer superzoom, max iso a very noisy 400!:
