Here are some pictures of the jazz trio that was playing. I’m gonna tell Tom (the one on sax) that he needs a website so I can link to him. He can be reached via email at justforyoujazz at yahoo.com if you’re in need of some music. Their music added the perfect touch to the evening at the Art Exhibit.

These were fun shots to get. They were set up in the darkest, hardest to reach corner where the walls were painted this mossy green (ick for bounce flash) and the perfect angle was occupied by the support beam for the staircase… I tried the tripod but the exposure times were too long to be sharp, I tried bouncing the flash off the ceiling by just standing there but the reflection in the window behind them was quite evil and the musicians were still severely underexposed. Eventually what worked is boosting the flash up to +3 and standing on the top of a barstool with the flash bounced off the ceiling and the sliver of tan wall. I may have looked silly but the pictures are acceptable!

I’ll update soon with pictures of the art and event.
