Pictures by Chris Sheffield (shortstrawfate à la yahoo.co.uk)
These are free for the use of the Newest Industry folk and everyone pictured. E-mail me at the address above and I'll mail you out a CD-R with the full-resolution (3456x2304) pictures on. (Anyone else, drop me a line or feel free to link to this page. I'd just like to know who's using them.) There are about 350 photos in total.
Here are the best 79. Slow connection users might want to put the kettle on while this page loads.
These were all shot using the B/W mode (no matter what I did with the white balance, the colours just looked fucking cheap) on my Canon 350D with a 35mm lens, around f/2.2 and 1/125 (I switched around a little), mostly at ISO 1600. There were at least two other people with decent cameras doing flash photography, so why duplicate the effort? These are all done with ambient lighting, with one exception (the one of everyone dancing during the last BCSU song) and the result is a little more organic and flattering, plus I didn't have to deal with the guilt of firing my flash in people's eyes.
Cheers!
