Ha! For the first time, I determined to drink more than usual amount of alcohol. Can't say it's a bad experience but drinking in itself is not enjoyable at all. Maybe it's because I was preparing for worse and therefore made preparations, so I wasn't drunk. They were unnecessary and potentially hindered my enjoyment. Mmmm... Thoroughly enjoyed party though I'm the official photographer of the day. And it is the first time I depleted both the battery on my flash and my camera, oh and memory card too. Approximately 600 pictures were taken, mostly are repeated pictures during the dances which will be removed. Note to self: new camera battery and a new 64GB compact flash card should be purchased in view of potentially similar activities in future.
Anyway, I realized that under the influence of alcohol, my photographic skill (if I have any) experienced significant deterioration. Sharpness awareness of course dropped (expected and thus did not bring a manual lens), less aware of defects near edges too including chopping off limbs and inclusion of unnecessary subjects. Anyway, most of them turned out well.
Due to request, what to upload onto Facebook will be determined by Aaron.
Note to self: Need to improve environmental awareness and portrait techniques. Flash point up or back towards surface, be wary of mirrors. If were to reflect off walls, reflect off internal reflector first.
Alright! The download links and instructions:
