Accordion Man...?

These sets of images (including the post titled 'Piano Man') are for an upcoming Madison Magazine article on undergraduate research. I'm posting a few of the shots here and there because I'm not certain of what they'll be using. Either way, here are some more.

Shooting William was tricky because of, you guessed it, lighting. When isn't that the case? These were all shot at ISO 1600, 50mm, f/1.8. and I still only reached around 1/40 sec for each shot, which required some real steady shooting on my part. I couldn't use flash because we were in a restaurant, and that really would have messed with the environment, so I did what I could. I contemplated bumping the ISO up to 3200 to reach above the coveted 1/60 sec, but it would have made the images colorless, contrastless (not a word, I know), and noisy.

Good thing William didn't care much about his personal space. I'm literally at his feet, shooting up.

And one for the road.
