dimanche, septembre 02, 2007 Introducing Jonathan Chong at the Esplanade  Jon had a gig at the Esplanade today, showcasing his original work. The whole thing sounded excellent - the esplanade's outdoor stage should have been a difficult venue to handle, but I guess this is why they're the pros!Jason was on bass, Nigel was on rhythm guitar, Michelle was backup, and Oliver was on the cajon (a drum that you sit on and play with your hands) Me? I was taking photos, of course. :) I'm mildly irked that the expedition had an 80% throwaway rate, but I'm trying to be reasonable with myself - I've only really had this camera for a week or so, and I'm still learning the nitty gritty bits of how to use it properly. The telephoto lens, for example, is great for the long shots, but it always gives blurry shots due to the lack of an image stabiliser. Couple that with my ineptitude, and you get very high throwaway rates. Must improve! :-) The other thing is the 50mm "portrait" lens - it's very quick, but has the tendency to autofocus on other things. It also doesn't work well in the dark, so I have to learn when the use the flash is acceptable, and not a cheaterbug way of compensating for my inability to tweak the settings. introducing jonathan chong at the esplanade!      jon | oliver | jason | nigel | mich   everyone on stage | everyone post-gig Libellés : music, photography [Introducing Jonathan Chong at the Esplanade] |
