Trying to shoot the models from the second row, seemed like a simple task, just get between two heads and voila! But that wasn't the case... This was extremely hard to shoot and you might be able to see that this image isn't extremely sharp, but for my first time I feel I did pretty well.

So during the show I tried all sorts of tricks to try and get great shots. It was harder than it seemed, models moving fast, light conditions changing constantly, and moving heads in front of me. This particular shot was taken in Live View mode. Everything was automatic except one thing; the focus. Automatic focus wouldnt work because it would focus on the heads in front of me or behind me. Perhaps I should have set the focus point to the center and used AL SERVO focusing to keep models in focus. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Also metering, might have been the same but get the right meter and maintain those setting for the shoot and try shoot models in the same position.

It was challenging, but fun, and next time I'll try get front row seats, that should hopefully make my job easier.
