You are the subject of the photos I take
So, over here in film-camera-world things happen slowly. Actually, what I really mean is over here in not-quite-getting-round-to-it world things happen slowly.
Either way, on 9th June, something exciting happened. I went to a gig and got a given a luridly pink sticker - which said I was allowed to take my camera in. OK, so no one really cared enough to check whether I had a pass or not, but it's the first time I've had one in my own right.
Sadly, it didn't actually make me take better photos. The stage was mostly lit from the back, which made life difficult, and I appear to have lost the ability to focus a lens. However, the Minolta lens which goes all the way down to f1.6 (as lent to me by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davefish, hurrah!) did seem to help a little. I've got 11 poor photos, as opposed to the 4 I had last time :)
(Click on thumbnails to see them in big, or go here to see them all in big. Where big is actually quite smallish and low-res, really.)
I apologise for abuse of tables perpetrated in this post. I'm still working out how best to present things like this.
Comments, criticism, tips, etc would be welcome. Especially on cropping of photos, since I couldn't make my mind up about quite a few of those.
Update Whoops, I forgot to link the thumbnails, so clicking on them will do absolutely nothing. And now I'm running out the door to work. The link to the page of big pictures should work, though.
