Last night I shot a show at Backbooth and it was some local bands from Orlando, and one of the bands was from Akron, Ohio and going out on tour. The Vivid, Gillian Carter, CityCop and Henrietta. Going into this I didn't know what to expect from this venue or from these bands, but they were all very talented and I was impressed with their passion for doing what they're doing. They're just a bunch of guys hanging out and playing music. I was worried about the lighting conditions I would be shooting in so I brought my flash and my 18-55mm kit lens, but only used my 50mm because the lighting was pretty good and I was liking what I was getting. In hindsight I could've played around with the flash but I felt like I would've been distracting, but maybe next time I play a smaller show like this I'll mess around with it and see what happens. I was happy with how my pictures came out and I didn't have too much trouble editing them and going through all of them, I'm improving little by little and getting more used to it and getting the hang of it as I go.

The pictures from CityCop are my favorite, I think.
