One of my carpool buddies, David Lindes<\/a>, bumped into this here photo blog I\u00a0believe\u00a0as a result of my Happy Dallintines Day<\/a> post. He has a new band called Rumbo Rumba<\/a> (on facebook<\/a>) that plays Latin alternative music. He asked if I would come to one of their practice sessions to get some documentary type shots for their website. I figured I could use the experience so I said yes.<\/p>\n

Saturday I went up to their studio to see what I could do. In talking to David before hand he said it was a small room with dim lighting. So just I’m case I brought my studio lights. I was glad I did as they helped immensely. \u00a0It was still quite difficult as the band was scattered around the room all facing eachother. \u00a0Naturally any place I put the lights would be close to some and far away from others. \u00a0This made the lighting quite difficult. \u00a0I basically had to adjust the lights depending on who I was shooting.<\/p>\n

More experienced photogs may have been able to do it all with one setting, but I guess I’m not that photog quite yet. \u00a0Luckily I had picked up some Radio Popper<\/a> JrX remote triggers which allowed me to adjust the strobes on the fly. \u00a0This made it extremely easy to adjust the power of my two lights as I went around the room and framed different situations.<\/p>\n

After the studio we moved out to an auditorium of sorts to do some casual shots on a couch that they had. \u00a0They had a great wood floor that added a lot to the shots.<\/p>\n

Finally we went out to beside their building to get some outside shots. \u00a0Again, wanting it kind of casual.<\/p>\n

All in all I enjoyed the challenge. \u00a0Hopefully the band gets some stuff out of it that they like. \u00a0David is a designer himself, so he will be editing the photos with his own chosen style. \u00a0I edited these for my own benefit to see what I could do with them.<\/p>\n

Any feedback is welcome as I am always wanting to improve.<\/p>\n
