Works boat party
Some snaps from our works boating-and-Bollywood party last night, on the occasion of us being great people doing fantastic things.
A few more where those came from. Meanwhile, some lessons learned from last night’s photography with a compact camera:
- Flash outside makes people in the foreground look like they’re standing against a flat, painted backdrop.
- Rapid focusing helps to not annoy your subjects as they stand there waiting for your camera to stop messing around.
- Continuous shooting makes the difference between having one suitable shot and no suitable shots of a particular situation.
- I have to spend a lot more time understanding flash metering.
- Redeye reduction works properly in Lightroom 1.1, which makes a change from 1.0.
