I went to Hialeah's final show last night and did some group shots for them. Click on the photo to go to the gallery with a bonus shot.



I've been using my new 420EX flash for these, and it just doesn't have the recycle time that Danny's 550EX has, so I'm wondering if I might need to upgrade soon. I can get off three pops a few times, but by the fourth shot, I can really only get two pops inside of the 15-20 second exposures. It also eats batteries, so I didn't have enough juice to do group shots for openers Arms Entwined. The live show photo will get posted once I've had a chance to work on them.

One thing I need to keep in mind when doing these is to keep all the lights behind the band so that they're primarily front lit by flash. The street lights that illuminated them from the front create more blur on their faces than I'd like. I realized this the last time I shot in basically this same spot, buthopefully now I'll remember it. Guess which member had some whiskey before this shoot and couldn't hold as still as the others for the 20 seconds.
