Three feet away while seated on a ferry with a 50mm and little options for framing present. And in a way conditions force the idea to get out of the comfort zone and you make do - and it's a nice thing when something good literally develops.

I had a chance to see this up and coming band — “the Accidentals” here in SLC last month. I also offered to photograph them as I just happen to have the gear to possibly get some good images. My brother Mark who introduced me to them also put me in touch with their Manager.
In my off time - there are two genres I just love shooting - Bands and Sports.
I had to bring the digi - D3s - but on a whim I also brought my F100 loaded with 400 HP5+ mounted to a 85mm f1.4. The 1.4 was a given considering I only had 400 asa in the F100.
This is Savanna Buist accompanying the opening act - total improv on the spot fill. So I took the opportunity of chance to burn some frames — and this is the best of the two.
It’s interesting how the BW takes the “Band” out of the band — and turns it into some kind of “Classical” looking image. It doesn’t hurt that she is playing a classical looking instrument either.
This was taken cradel to grave - Shot, developed, and scanned in house.
It turned out well — and the band will be Grammy winning in about 5 years — you heard it hear first. They are really something. I can’t wait to hear their next album.

This image took me a bit by surprise -- as too how well it turned out. Exposure, composition, and focus is perfect. And not having the vision of being able to predict it, caught me also. That's one of the aspects of film - a week after you get the roll developed, there are surpirses - mostly good.
I also didn't mention - this is a timeless image - it could have been shot in 1954 for that matter.

Riding the Trax - anything goes -- especially at 7am - ish.

I dragged the Hula Girl to the beach for a photo shoot -- I take what I can get.
