35-100 does fashion shows and gigs

I was invited by a friend to attend a gig at Miss Libertine's on Franklin St last Wednesday.

Since I know nothing about the gig in the first place, this is what is stated as by the organisers.

From a photographic perspective, only some dim stage lights were provided for, so nothing less than the fastest lenses would do for this job. ISO was bumped up to stratospherical levels, hence noise, reduced dynamic range and tones.

Camera phones are definitely not suited for this job!

Enough of my blabbering. Now on to the artists!


Caroline Gale



Tee, whom I've just photographed a few days ago.




Carmen on vocals with Grace on the guitar



Favorite song bird for the night, Asami Koike

Clara Rhoden imparted a distinct Christian message in her performance.



This week is the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. I can't believe that I missed so many free fashion shows in the city. I need to sap them up before they're gone!

Since there was one being held at the City Square (corner Swanston & Collins) yesterday, I rushed there to hopefully get some shots of this year's winter collection.

All shots were taken with the Zuiko 35-100 lens at f2, with my FL50 set at super FP TTL flash

the red hat and funky necklace just complete the scene. chic!

It was a very well presented show, with a DJ around to play some great runway music


want my guitar?


This particular model is my favourite. She looks good no matter what is put on her, and her pose is great.



Simple and white is also good


I like lacey stuff too.






Now back to the ordinary at Neil's dinner.


We celebrated Aaron's birthday today.


I made a more deliberate attempt with my bounce flash today to make the bounce more directional.






Laters!
