This week I was asked to shoot a restaurant for Cinco de Mayo. They wanted images that showed people in motion with the hustle and bustle of the day; while highlighting their establishment. Because of the amount of people (and the last minute nature of the shoot); I was unable to get releases from people. To be honest, I am not even sure I should have tried there were so many people there.
This is a 30 second shot @ f22. It was getting dark fast and this was one of my last shots of the night. Of course I had a tripod and you can only image how much fun that was with all of these people milling around. I love how the lights in the distance flair up and sparkle. And yes, I played with the TV for my client. Why not!




It does work really well in capturing the buzz and motion of the guests. Very nice!
Really fab shot, Chris! Love the motion blur – you nailed the exposure. Well done!
