Well every Saturday night I take photo's for a night club basically of people & live bands that play there, getting straight to the point last night was the very first night that I ended taking photo's because of a person who was trigger happy with the smoke machine...

I must say if they use the smoke machine more often I would probably get more great shots like these, thought I would share with everyone!

First 3 photo's taken are with my 350D and Fisheye lens.

ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/40 second
F Number: F/3.5-4.5

Great shots again Byron.
Really like the last shot in your first post. Lets you know how fast he's playing with his blurred hand. Great!

Not to mention the fact that it looks like he has a third arm LOL

Personally feel these are the best I have seen on the forum. They are excellent JC, great work here.

I am finding these type of photo's are currently my strong point I do have other area's of interest which I am still exploring and need lots more practice with I still think I can make these images sharper though maybe It's my settings or maybe It's just the lens I'm using ... I don't know!

Just imagine this all started because of my first camera - Canon Digital IXUS 500

Question.

These guys want a CD now of all the high quality pictures I took from the night of there set, currently I provide 1 photo of each band member for free as the night club pays me.

What sort of rate should I charge the band? Keep in mind half the bands that do come through this joint aren't very big and out there for self promotion.

I was thinking around $50.... reckon I'm under selling myself or should I go $100?

Hmmm tough one. I'm the last person who could help you on that one...
but I would say if you think $50 to $100 would be good for your time and effort, then quote that and see what they think about it. Maybe negotiate a price that your happy with.

Good luck with it all.

It's always better to start out with more and then you can come down. If you say $50, and they then say "Oh wow! That cheap" -- You'll be kicking yourself, 'cause you can't exactly say.. "Oh well, what I MEANT... was $1000."
