Everytime you hit the field, you come back with a learning. Some of them important, and some of them are just stuff that you have to take care of and some are just stupid. I think it's good practice to share learnings with other people.

This weekend I shot DDR 2007. Here are the learnings:

1. If you are using two cameras, always make sure to have different naming conventions for files. I spent 2 hours renaming overlapping file names.


2. Never wear shades while shooting because you will overexpose your images if you are not careful.


3. Flash will ruin all your photos if you are shooting a stage with a great light setup. Never sacrifice ambiance over light.


4. Always check your ISO settings before shooting. I forgot mine on 1600 for the first two bands. Not too good.


5. 12-24/f4 Super-Wide lenses are the WORST option for a live stage during the night but with a hot shoe flash, it's the best camera for shooting crowds.


6. 70-200 is your best range for shooting live events.

Regardless of all the mentioned above, my photos were fucking amazing. I was too happy with the results and you can see one photo on my gallery here. To see the remaining 655 photos, log-on to Phride.com (my website), create an account and enjoy!

Until the next event, stay safe

Yeah. Been inactive for a while. I miss taking pictures and playing with dials on Photoshop.

Just changed jobs and getting adjusted to the new lifestyle. I honestly hate it. Will probably be missing for a while longer.

I have a lot of stuff to comment on in my watch. I promise to do so when I'm back.

Hope this reaches you people well.
