Weird (Senior social plus some other crap)

This post will be a weird mix, here’s the other crap first, social is at the bottom. The black and white is all neopan 400 at 1600, so far VERY impressed with that. :D
Jake’s super-awesome GF doing some stupid dance we got her to do. This was during the musical, I was pretty busy so I don’t have too many shots.

Jane, super awesome top best girl in world. Snuck a photo. Jane is one with glasses. Matt’s big bulky nose in frame. DAMN.

Before after party. Sitting down in front of teachers, some were less than subtle about the future course of the night.

Anyway we left after that for the station. There were more than a hundred of us, I’m not pleased with this photo, doesn’t show full size of group, plus there’s the white line that looks like a scratch but isn’t.

Anyway, after that camera went in bag, thank God.

Here is another random shot from that roll before social photos.

Yeah I photographed the senior social for school mag. Was cool, they do this thing where they blast the strobes explained later. I change font colour for no reason.
Okay so here are some atmosphere shots.

1 second exposure and they flashed the strobes a few times
COLOURS and black.

In fact, I think I might not put too many portraits here, just some dancefloor/funny shots.
Gab, a trés cool person. Good dancer too by looks of it.

Lot’s of the dance floor shots, in fact all I think, were made using 1/4 second exposures, but most have no motion blur (not including last one) because the sensor only gets exposed for like 1/125th of a second when they flash the strobe. In the rest of the exposure time the dance floor is VERY dark, with some coloured lights occasionally

DOOF DOOF

Was cool, you can take photos like this far away from people but they don’t notice. Poor framing here.
