ps the girls who are in pics repeatedly are all friends of mine, so that's why there's so many pics of em.

if you wanna see the pics larger (along with ones I didn't post) go here and click Slideshow for best results:

getting into it was one of the best things I've ever done, especially given my pre-existing interest with music.

Well, aside from the fact that I think I need a new flash (performance is not the same as when new) - I don't use more than 4. I take about 200 pics a night these days, for the regular nights like Sound-bar. ~300-500 for the special events such as Armin / PVD. Even for the special events, I don't run out of juice for the night. Also keep in mind, percentage-wise I would estimate I take about 60/40 flash/no-flash shots on any given night. I have really been trying to curb how many I take, and focus on getting keepers.

A new thing I have been doing more often lately - which stemmed from me losing the diffuser earlier this year - is taking the diffuser off and extending the white card thing, with the flash pointed up or at a slight forward angle. This only really works for landscape orientation though, if you try with portrait the light doesn't come off evenly but you get a different effect. Here is an example with the card bounce - it almost gives an effect of the flash not being on the camera - the light looks like its coming from higher up (look at the shadows):

i see, was just curious because i go thru regular AA's really fast on my 430ex

and i know what you mean by pointing the flash straight up and bouncing off the ceiling, i usually do that if its a white ceiling and low enough. the picture of the guy break dancing was done using that technique.

except my 430ex doesnt have the white card thing built in so i just use my school newspaper press pass which is white on the back and a red rubber band

hmm.. oh I also vary the flash power as needed, I'm usually at -.3 but I go lower sometimes too depending on ambient lighting. For the above pic, the majority of light came from the flash.

regarding the card, its the end result that matters, not how you get there. so on the rubber band trick.

necessity is the mother of invention.. just installed Wordpress 2.5.1 with gallery2 and flickr plugins on srika.com.. really liking this integrated flickr set option with Lightbox pic viewing. It resizes the pics very well and you can use the arrow keys to go through the pics - always wanted that. Also added shopping cart and will have printing capability through a number of websites.

'zouse I think you'll like the updated Scooter pics.. check all 3 pages.

hey I enjoyed PVD's set better because it was much better than the past few times I'd seen him. I've seen Armin so many times and he has played a regular style, and this was no different - so I didn't enjoy it as much as PVD. Also he was dropping some tracks that Markus Schulz usually drops - almost signature tracks of his sets - and that kinda bugged me.

Damnit Srika.....AZ would've loved if you stopped by Crobar on Friday and took some pics of Kendra and her birthday party. (from The Girl Next Door)

The ratio of girls to guys that night was 10 to 1.

I've never seen so many short mini skirt, tight white short hott girls crammed into one club in my life. It was like a candy store.

I'm sure the ratio will be good, but not as good as last Friday. Every girl LOVES Kendra and their show. With Tara, you either love her or hate her. Most girls treat her as a skanky hoe.

BUT.....It looks like it's a bikini beach party, so the girls that will be there will be in bikini's. I say do it!!! haha

Trust me, with Surreal, there will be more parties like that. In fact, the boat parties should be starting soon if not already. Get your ass out on the lake with Chicago Scene or Surreal and start taking some nipple slips. LOL

checked out the Crobar pics - I'm pleased to say that Spybar was equally jammed with scantily-clad hotties for its grand re-opening that night. :P
