All exifs are the same (except picture #4 aperture is f6.3) :

Focal Length : 17mm
Aperture : f5.6
Shutter : 1/60sec
ISO : 400
Flash : Fired (Bounced to ceiling)


Comment and critic are most welcome.

Thank you.

I like #4 the best (Nice and sharp, face not blocked), but shutter speed a bit fast (or maybe ISO560) to get more ambient light, and flash is a bit too harsh, perhaps dial it down -1eV.

Nice captures though, shame the audience looks so bored.

My camera doesn't have any fancy ISO like ISO560, but it has ISO800.

Flash is bounce to ceiling, is it still harsh? or you didn't calibrate your monitor?

Anyway, thanks for the comment. Will try the method in future, thank you.

Prefer #1 for the obvious strain of effort on guitarist's face, and the background fellas cheering him on for the atmosphere. A pity about the guitar neck .... looks like you were standing closest this time, hence the slight burn from the bounced light on his thumb/forefinger area and upper arm.

How was the jump measured?

Thanks alan.

I pre-focus the subject and press the shutter half way and get ready to shoot. Some more, I know about the song and I know which part of the song that is the climax and will make the guitarist jump! he's my friend actually, ehhehe...
