Caught

This was one of the guys in the group playing at the beach Saturday night. They were good but the song Wooly Bully is now stuck in my head. There glitter jackets made it hard for me to capture. This ones works because I underexposed it (made the exposure comp thingy -5). Now I would love to say I did this because I am brilliant but I really this is the adjustment for the ferris wheel and I forgot to undo it. But hey it worked and I learned a little lesson. By the way in a second he pointed his finger at me and when I lowered the camera he laughed. Forgot my camera at home so thank goodness I had one to post.

Cute story Joan, made me laugh!

[Sharleen]

Like that swoosh of lights above! Great expressive capture Joan!

[Taffy]

Happy accident! So funny to see this guy in his sparkly jacket, imagine the concert, and know you have the song stuck in your head!

[Mike Llewellyn]

Get ya someone really, and do the wooly bull, wooly bully, wooly bully.

[Mike Llewellyn]

Damn, now it's stuck in my head.

[Jan Rose]

Great shot, he looks a little scary.

[Joan Robillard]

@jaboney It's one of those songs.

[Joan Robillard]

@jan20 Exactly why I I put my camera down. But his laugh was so reassuring,

[Kane Arlow]

That is one of the traps of using Manual mode on the camera. I have messed up plenty of shots by forgetting to change the setting. At least some shots are recoverable in camera RAW :)

[Joan Robillard]

@karlow75 I was using Aperture priority but set that +/- thing to -5 because I was shooting a long exposure and trying to keep it from over exposing. I couldn't then figure out what was wrong with this one. Then the light went off. But yes RAW is the only way to go.

[Pete Roberts]

Great shot Joan - I love the look you have captured

[Kane Arlow]

@joansmor that's my favourite setting at the moment, and I did the same thing with the exposure comp. It took me a while to figure out what I had done Nd how to fix it. It was a good learning curve though.

[Francoise]

love the combination of curiosity and menace on his face; was glad to hear the story ended in laughs.

[Sharron Green]

Really colorful capture, love the lights.

[Robin]

Nice capture Joan. You have caught the atmosphere very well.

[Gena Pegg]

Cool shot Joan! Sounds fun..but thanks! Now Wooly Bully is going round in MY head. hahahah!

[Juan B.]

Great indoor shot. Underexposing in this kind of photos also works for me. It gives me and extra shutter speed, helping me to freeze the singers

[Doug]

Great capture

[Kay Hodges]

Nice capture

[Lyn Berriman]

... now I am singing wooly bully!!! whahaha! Super capture!

[livvy]

Hi Joan :p So sorry I did not challenge you. So my challenge this week capture something in color that fills the frame. Have fun.

[Janiskay]

I didn't think they would be still playing that song.

[Lin]

Love that expression - nicely captured!

[Richard Sayer]

Joan, this is really excellent work... a very competent stage shot. Normally learning follows a failure - nice that in your case you learned as the result of a success. Way to go Lady.

[Joan Robillard]

@janiskay They were doing all the sixties songs. It was fun.

[Richard Sayer]

Joan, I've come back to this to give it a Fav. As I've already said, it's a very competent shot but what I like best about it is that it didn't fall into your lap (like a sunset!) - you set out to make this image and you did.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse I knew you'd get even with some comment on sunsets. LOL But thank you. This is an example of not tossing a photo until you pull a couple of sliders in Camera Raw. And you would say that is why we shoot in RAW.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor It is why we shoot in raw: you're only revealing what the sensor already captured and recorded - it was in the scene, so why not in your final image as well. I will comment online on your sunset pics but I'm waiting for an answer to my answer to your mail first!
