Champion and the G Strings on Q

November 29, 2009 | Filed Under photo 

These guys are the most awesome dance-rock band on the planet. The albums, while good, do not do justice to their live show wherein DJ Champion (guy on the laptop) literally conducts the guitar orchestra for 90 minutes of music with no breaks. Shot info below the pic.

One of those instances where I brought lights to the CBC Q studio. From the first pic, there’s one to the singer’s right casting the main harsh light, and behind him is another SB600 bouncing off the white ceiling for fill on his back. Same setup for the other shots, if you can suss out the locations of the subjects. Shot it all at ISO 800, somewhere around F/5-ish. The four-guitar shot probably had me drop to ISO 400 and knock down my aperture to F/3.2 I believe.
