Mrs Johnston promotional photo.
The band and I have something much more creative and exciting than this, but I really wanted to post this shot because to me this shoot should not have happened at all. I left my Pocket Wizards on the table... no sync cords for my lights... meaning no way to use any off camera flash. . . well not entirely true, but who in their right mind would use a long exposure for a band shot.. ME!
This is by no way the proper way to get the look I wanted but leaving the shutter open left me enough time to manually fire all of my lights and get enough ambient to fill the background.
I would like to thank everyone in the band for staying still for this shot :) ( its no easy task getting them to not move around... :P )
settings:
Shutterspeed: 8"
Aperture: F/22
ISO: 100
and all the lighting is manually fired on the guys to freeze them and various subtle accents.
