First Time Spottin' :)
Hi All,

Still really buzzed from last night, was a great night out spotting in almost all the venues in town. Was my first time doing anything like this and can't wait til tonight when i'm doin it all over again :P

Please check out my galleries from the night and let me know what you think. Am I on par or not quite there yet?

Me Profile.

Cheers.

Good shoot for your first time!

However are you using an SLR with flash gun or just a digi cam? Just wondering if you can turn your flash down a little some pictures look a bit bleached or... use light room and tone them down!

Nevertheless all is good hope you are another good night spotting!!!!

Nice work... good start!

Try taking less shots that look up at people, especially girls... it's very unflattering.

Cheers man, I'm using 450D with a 430ex II, yeah, I had that problem a lot during the night, the venue's lights change so rapidly that im constantly putting the flash up and down half a stop or two to compensate, but I do have lightroom, so i might give that a go see what results i get.

Thanks again, and I hope so too :P

look up, work out where the lights are and how best to use them. dont be afraid to move people around.
