In Reply to: if you intend to develope your own Black and White film posted by Joe M on March 13, 2003 at 08:02:23:
I won't be able to develop on my own yet. I have done some in the past for the Navy but don't have access to a darkroom right now.
As far as having my camera checked, it shouldn't be an issue since I know half the group playing.
I have taken notes from your msg! Thanks for the tips!

Don't get that ever present mic in the mouth shot, it's disturbing.Instead wait until, just as they back away to take a breath.We also shoot it like a sporting event, at the peak of action.inorder not to get a lot of blury pics.Image a jump shot where in the player goes up to shoot, there is a brief second of time before he moves again.Thats the time to fire off your camera.Try to anticipate these peak moments.
Also arm yourself with a wide angle lens and a short tele.Get the entire group and zoom in for individual close ups.
example of shooting at peak action, although I like the gentle blur of guitarist hand,shows movement.No mic in mouth here.Also, it's done in a triangle composition.
Leo Kottke, wonderful 12 string player.Remember to focus on your subjects eyes,and let everthing fall off after.At those shallow depth of field f stops....2.8 - f 4.

Thanks again. I am hoping there won't be any mic's since it is jazz and a small venue. I know the tenor saxophone player and he usually doesn't need a mic.
