The Skirt Chasers at Rancho Relaxo

March 26, 2009 | Filed Under photo 

Hilary Chan, a friend of my wife, is in an awesome nut-crunching blues-really-hard rock band called The Skirt Chasers. They had a show at Rancho Relaxo last night, and having not shot a concert in some time (last one was Modernboys Moderngirls, with faulty flash triggers, aRgH!) I offered to get some stills for them. Hadn’t heard the music before, and it was supreme.

An SB 600 and an SB 28 were both rattling off at 1/4, gelled 1/1 tungsten. One was behind Hilary, and one was to the camera left in front of Jason, hanging inside a wall lamp. You gotta make use of the facilities however you can, especially in small and tight venues! Shots of Jason were usually at iso 400, F/5-5.6 and shots of Hilary were at iso 640 at the same aperture-ish. Shutter was about 160, so’s not to let much other light in outside of the flashes. More shots in this linked Flickr set. All shots are straight outta the camera jpegs.
