\nNu Culture<\/b>, down at Tom Dick & Harry’s Live @ Pavilion, on the 25th of October 2012.<\/p>\n


\nThey comprise of some familiar faces to me – like Chad Smith<\/s> Jared of The Ramanados.<\/p>\n


\nThey did covers, keeping the funky groove of Michael Jackson – Rock With You<\/i>…<\/p>\n


\n…and the white soul of Bee Gees<\/i>, with both Love You Inside Out<\/i> and a jazzified Staying Alive<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nHowever, they were soon joined by a familiar face – Herman Ramanado!<\/p>\n


\nGregory Ramanado, infectious as ever, introduces his brother on stage.<\/p>\n


\nThe audience clamors for more.<\/p>\n


\nHerman’s buddies from International College Of Music also join him on stage…<\/p>\n


\n…for a virtuoso performance. I think. I don’t remember. It is the expected norm of ICOM students to be elite masters of music.<\/p>\n


\nAll shots with the Sony Alpha 99 and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.<\/p>\n


\nThis would be the first gig I’d shoot in a consistently low-light, low contrast situation (except when there was backlight.)<\/p>\n


\nA friend of theirs also came up to sing.<\/p>\n


\nHere’s ISO6400 on the A99, with a bit of exposure boost. The look is due to low-contrast lighting.<\/p>\n


\nIn contrast (heh) this is what a spotlit scene looks like.<\/p>\n


\nI also brought the Samyang 35mm F1.4 UMC along (it was to be sent to repair by Chia Hau) for one last spin. Gotta love the lens for capturing the atmosphere.<\/p>\n


\nThis same lens took this picture, that I used for my Facebook profile for quite a while. (I accidentally wiped my original RAW setting for this, so this is a reprocessed image.) Thanks to Chia Hau for this shot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
