Wichita Falls

[Lili]

We went there this weekend to document a club a friend is opening soon.
After that I spent two whole days shooting urban seens, both new and fading as well as a heck of a lot of shots with GRD/GT-1 of band; Oh Daddy.
This was right next to my friend Club, shot with the S6000fd;

Thanks Helen
I will be posting all the shots I chose to post here from this trip under this thread.
Right now I've some 500+ shots to winnow out
Looooooong drive and little sleep.
It'll be worse when the club actually opens but I am still looking forward to that

THIS was with the GT-1, Guitarist was with the 28mm efl lens on the GRD, I misspoke

One thing the band shots taught me; with small sensors and hi ISO, it is far better to fille the frame. Get as close as possible, like the intimacy Mitch mentions in his Bangkok shots.

I adjusted the exposure on the ATV shot;

Interesting shots Lili.

All I knew of Wichita Falls was a rather splendid Pat Metheny album from the 80's - I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't even aware that it was a real place

Cool series, Lili.

 

[Lili]

Thanks Maggie,
I took far too many at the concert, hard to wade through.
I blame the Jack

Nifty shots.
Dark bars are always a challenge.

Bob, thank you!
Indeed they are.
A fast lens is a Must!

Ooops, sorry to post the tailgater shot twice, I was very tired
As for the ATV shot, the first vanished for a bit when I edited it.
Guy?
Can you remove one of each?
