I can’t believe I’m still up and at it so late. In about 30 minutes I will be officially burning the midnight oil once more though to me it’s worth it. It is especially worth it for this particular set. Why? Well, because this was a challenge for me.
From the moment I walked in to Cheers this night, I knew I had my work cut out for me. Yes, I have shot at Cheers before but the lighting was different this time around. It wasn’t so much that it was on the darker side, I’ve gotten used to that. What posed an issue for me was the lack of any lighting other than those lovely green, red and blue laser beams that us photographers absolutely adore. Can you pick out the sarcasm there? I hope so.
Back to the post though. My night with Pandia. At first I wasn’t sure I’d make it through the night coming off a full shift at work and then headed up for an hour drive. Did I mention their set ended at 4 a.m.? Basically I pulled an all nighter yet it was worth it. I love these guys. Never a dull time and the energy is always full of great vibes. I barely noticed the time. They killed it and yes, I danced and shot. I’m multi talented.
As for the photos, I didn’t think they would turn out decent. Even with the 7D in hand, I had a time trying to keep up with the exposures. And for someone who would rather not convert their shots to black and white, I certainly faced a challenge in post. I don’t back down though. After all, you go after what you want and I was going to get it done. Granted, I did convert quite a few to black and white but I wasn’t losing a great shot on account of being stubborn.
So I narrowed down some favorites for you though as always you can check out my Facebook album for full set. Yes, it was a challenge to shoot and a bigger challenge in post, but the challenge makes it worth it. Hope you all enjoy.
As always,
The Queen
