Wedding Night Gig - K10 + Sig 50mm + Idiot

Hi Guys

This was my first attempt at a 'gig' at our friends wedding - clearly not 'cabstar' quality but I gave it a go.

Having discovered that whilst the K10 was a little limited as iso 1600 was not enough even at f2.8 without flash I have realised that I was the main limiting factor/ shutter idiot

All taken with the Sigma 50mm f2.8.

C&C welcome as I hope to use your knowledge to improve should there be a next time (if there is a next time I may find myuself ringing SRS for a K5)

The band are 'the Swillers' (so I believe) - pretty much all with on board flash




























A great band by the way

Cheers

Not bad at all Stu ... the eyes on a couple could do with touching up a bit to get rid of the flash effect but apart from that they look very good.

+1 to that

Very reminiscent of a bunch of mates I know.. who 'ply the scene' !

#8 (2nd from last) is a great catch of the main man in action.

I think the biggest problem is the closeness of the background to the band, which is always going to cause problems with shadows from the flash (no matter which gun/technique/diffuser you're able to use).

Looking pretty good to me, a couple of stray arms in the way in a couple of shots and some shadows that are annoying.
well done

I really like all the shots. This amply proves that K10D can still compete with the new cameras in quality. I am happy I still have my K10D and honestly feel it outperforms my K7 in IQ.

Thanks for the comments guys

There were an awful lot of much worse ones on my card - the learning curve was steep and my own idiocy was prevelant but then it began to click, literaaly - way more practice needed to feel confident doing that again though

As others have said, this is a very nice set. Well done Stuey

One & four are very good,the other shots need to watch for hands & arms over faces.

So pleased you went with the flash route, so many try to shoot a pub gig with out a flash & it just doesn't work.

Thanks again for all your comments and advice guys - I appreciate them.

Cabstar - I did try the non flash route realised that I had been a fool and popped the flash up hoping no one noticed

Jeees - I have to admit that the K10D certainly serves me well - still needs improvement from me though
