Stage Lights

By Jim Denham | Published September 25, 2012

One of the benefits of volunteering on the Tech Team at Crossroads Church in Woodbury, MN, is getting to play with the camera during worship rehearsal. Normally I focus mainly on the folks playing, but this weekend I was trying to get some detail shots in order to do some decoration in the green room – pretty humbled that they liked my work enough to use it! The key was finding some interesting light on the instruments to show them off in some way. It was a lot of fun- Here are a handful I thought were pretty cool!

  • Aperture: ƒ/2.8
  • Camera: Canon EOS 60D
  • Focal length: 50mm
  • ISO: 1600
  • Shutter speed: 1/800s

      Thanks Scott! I like how the action is going on but the focus is not on it. I think the worship team will like it too!
