This shot was taken at a concert of NYC recording artist Jason Brody. I was hired to shoot the gig and I also became a fan. He is sort of like Jeff Buckley, very good. But back OT, I combined the natural stage lighting of this small venue with my flash (Sunpack 383) I shot it on manual using the flash at 1/8 of its power. Note, the shutter speed was 1/8th of a second, so you see image blur, but the flash "burned" his image onto the picture. I liked the results, so did Jason and his publicist - I believe they used it on his website:

Another pic from the same shoot, here, I was shooting in succession and the flash didn't fire (even though it says it did in the exif info). This is one thing I don't like about the Sunpack 383, it is hit or miss whether the flash will fire two shots in a row. And I have it set at minimum power (auto f2.0). So I played with it in PSE and this is what I got. The Jason Brody camp also loved this shot and will be using it on their new EP due out in December 04:

flash never actually fired, upped the gain and played around to get this effect. This shot will be used on Jason Brody's next EP due out December 04
