Recording sesh

Oh man, what a night! The Sr. Jazz Choir had a recording session tonight, and it was a lot of fun. We were all a little sceptical going in, as we had never had a proper session as a group before. But within minutes, we were all having a blast. I also had my camera with me, and got quite a few nice photos. The one I've posted here is probably one of my favourites of the bunch. I didn't really think too much at the time when I was behind the lens, but after further reflection, I think I see what makes it stand out.

Everything I know about photography, I learned from reading books or websites, and after a while there tend to be reoccuring themes and lessons. Just from the top of my head, I remember reading about "Focusing on the eyes" "Giving the subject space to look" "Rule of thirds" "Keep backgrounds unclustered" "Cloudy weather makes for great diffused light"....I could go on and on, but the fact of the matter is that I wasn't thinking of any of that when I was taking the picture. I guess I know more than i thought, so I should start applying more of what I know when TAKING photos, instead of just ANALYZING photos I've already taken :P
