Stand up comedian

published by Rene Damkot on Mon, 03/26/2007 - 1:23pm

Something different from what I normally shoot: Cabaret / stand up comedy.

Lighting was pretty constant, smoke nonexistent. Couldn't move around too much, since the hall was filled with chairs, and I didn't want to disturb the audience...
'Silent mode' on my 1d2 came in handy ;)

#1 left the top of the monitors in on purpose: IMO the image needs it.

Exif should be there, 1D2, ISO 1600, 50/1.4 and 80-200L on monopod. I think I spot metered off the face.

Nice shots for what you had to work with. I can see where stand up comedy would be tough to photograph especially if they don't use props or costumes.
