Club Jam celebrated their first year anniversary Saturday night. They had drinks, cake, even a balloon drop at midnight that included balloons, condoms, and cash. Who doesn’t like a money drop at midnight, lol. You can check all the photographs at my SmugMug gallery.

I think that I have mastered the art of event photography. Gotta learn to bounce the flash or as I used last night – a cable to get the flash off the camera completely. I could then hold the flash about 3 feet to my left to get the images to have more dimension. To often if you use leave the flash on the camera it’ll light your subject but it will flatten the image.

Another thing that helps event photographs is a high ISO and a slow sync speed. But most important? A good lens with at least f/2.8 aperture. This whole event was shot with my Tamron f/2.8 28-75mm lens. It works pretty well.
