Still waiting for the second half of the pics to load, but hmm, the art hall is indoors right?

Do you use external flash or were you on low aperture? The images aren't blurred, compared to the ones I took in my school's indoor concerts.

Oh and you were using Canon? Which?

Yes, it is.

It's not possible to use any kind of flash at events like this. I personally don't use my external flash right now since I haven't had a chance to practice doing a photo shoot with it. I'm planning to practice over the next couple of months before using it for esports shoots if possible.

I was using my bog standard set up of Canon EOS5D plus the IS/USM f/2.8 70-200mm lens. The ISO was set to 800 and all the settings on neutral. They were all edited in photoshop to improve the depth of bokeh and make the curves (brightness/contrast.) pop a bit more.

Wow it's at 800? I've tried out my friend's 70-200mm (it costs SGD1000 or so iirc) and it's a really good lens (though it's kinda heavy haha). Surprised you can get such quality at ISO 800 under such lighting conditions.

Great pics as always, negg!

5/5 :D

Thanks I actually had Mr.Kang from Fomos go through his standard settings with me so I could shoot properly at PL and other SC events. They seem to work pretty nicely for me elsewhere too. Also, tell me about it :/ That lens is so heavy I often get pain in my shoulders/wrists after using it for big events. After MSL finals I had neck pain for over three days.

My friend bought this left-shoulder-to-right-hip strap thing for around 40USD, it helps A LOT in reducing the pain. It comes with some lock to your lens, so you can just leave your camera hanging at your side when you're not using it. Just have to be careful not to knock your camera/lens at random stuff ^^;;

5D.. man I'm using 400D T__T

Friend's using 1D Mark II though, bought the 400D from him second hand :p

From the pics, I thought you were using 85mm 1.8 or something haha, very nice bokeh.

Too much digital pp- looks like you're on a bit of a selective focus binge

Otherwise nice pics - the 5d is really something.

Actually all I did to these was use blur and adjust curves. I'd hardly call that overkill using photoshop. Nothing was done with saturation, levels or sharpening except for the odd little tweak. (Plus desaturating a couple.) I happen to like doing selective focusing - it mixes things up a bit in a big set like this.
