Tristissima's Birthday Party

[foxgrrl]

People It was lj user=tristissima 's birthday last month, so we celebrated it last Friday. There was a full moon that night, and so of course I had to try to get it into every single shot. (That was on purpose.) If you're wondering, it's mostly f/1.4 for 1/50sec at ISO6400. D700, photo, August 2008, San Jose, CA, USA, birthday, party Julia

Excellent accidental 3 point lighting setup in some of those pictures :D

Everyone was so overdressed though, what are the temperatures like at night... wherever this took place. Here in Phoenix it's still pool party weather.

How much time do you spend taking photographs, anyway?

I'm not exactly certain. I do know that it's an order of magnitude more time to edit them in post-production than it is to shoot them. (Which is why I'm like tens of thousands of photos behind now.)
