Event photography

I've decided not to post examples of the photos i took at the Vibrant Entertainment event on Friday 27th January (if you do want to see them they are all on there facebook page).

This time round i had figured out 2nd curtain sync for my flash and i tried it out when photographing groups of people. It took a while to get the hang of and a few times it didnt work out that well but they are getting better.

I wanted to share my favourite photograph from the night, i was trying to capture the coloured lights and their movement so i had turned the flash off and left the shutter speed on around half a second. Purely because of the timing of the lights and the settings of the camera this photograph was created, not intended but i really like it and its now the profile photo of the organisers facebook.

Olmpus om10

Mike's dad let me borrow his Olympus om10 35mm camera. So to test it out i used some out of date film (expiry date - 2005) just to have a play around with the camera and how the film turns out.

Our cars were getting pretty filthy so we decided to clean them today, not the best idea considering how cold it actually turned out to be. While we washed the cars i took some photos using the camera, then once we were done washing the cars i got the film developed at asda and put on a CD.

Even though the women had scanned the film in backwards so all the images were the wrong way round and half of them had been cropped some of them turned out pretty good and have a really cool vintage grain look to them!

Quite chuffed really, ended the day with a clean car and some cool looking photos :)
