Today I shot the first half of my first "show." It was a CFF event.

The lighting was horrible and no flash allowed. I was using my 50mm 1.4 and my 85mm 1.4 on two D3 bodies.

It is amazing how the lighting in this place changes. I was shooting 3-4 frame bursts, and it was surprised to see that all 3-4 images in one burst could come out different colors. Looking at my thumbnails in Lightroom reminds me of a Skittles commercial; you know, "Taste the rainbow."

All in all, I'm looking at about a 30% keeper rate if I look at these from a more documentary perspective than a creative / arty perspective.

I'm not real pleased with myself right now, but I'll be shooting round two of the same event tomorrow. Right now, I need to get about 400 images tweaked and online for the competitors to view.
