Here are a number of photographs from Friday’s Black Party at Club Jam. To see all the photographs go to my SmugMug gallery – they are available for purchase. And sales go to help me take more cool photographs! Woo hoo!
And I absolutely love this photograph – it looks like it is an abstract painting or drawing. This was nothing but club lighting and holding it very still.
Abstract lighting - almost looks like a drawing
It took a few tries to get this photograph. The other photographs had the light in the way of the DJ – or the DJ was blurry. This one I like because the light beams from the DJ perfectly.

Always photograph the details. In this case beer bottles.
Beer
Keep your eyes open – it will help you capture those natural moments – where friends toast their friendship.

And it can be awkward photographing people in candid moments. As soon as people see you aim a camera they will pose or the moment might be loss. So have your camera and camera setting ready. Frame the photograph you want in your mind – that is when you act. It took less than a second to turn aim the camera and click. It wasn’t till after that Jason realized I had taken his photograph. Sneaky – like a ninja.

And sometimes you want people to pose for the photograph – gotta be fierce.

Drinks are served
This was one of the first photographs I took of the night – I placed the drink on top of my illuminated iPhone. This caused the drink to glow. Focusing on ice cubes, glass, and such can be difficult for cameras. My guess is that cameras don’t know what to focus on when it can see through the object. So be ready for manual focusing.
