Three Nights in a Big Tent
August 21st, 2006
This is a set of photos I took on the campsite at Bideford Folk Festival, in a large old army tent. Musicians would come in and sing or play (or both) and for me it was the highlight of the week.
Light was provided by 3 lightbulbs in the centre of the tent, but mostly nobody sat under these. Generally the shots are at least 2 stops underexposed from ISO 3200, 1/60th @ F2.8. So expect them to be noisy. The autofocus didn’t work superbly under these conditions either, spoiling a few otherwise superb shots.
Really nice photos Ian. Very natural and sympathetic to the subject. If I ever need a photographer….
