Torture Garden Fetish Fashion Show Photography, Edinburgh, October 2009 ( by Dom Bower)

[theFaded01]

did u bum up your ISO for these photos? or did u the bounce flash?

A real positive perspective about the fetish parties showing and telling just how fun and relaxed such a night out is. I know there can be some restrictions put on people photographing the crowd but the interviews with the models gave a good idea as to the normality of people who go to these events, people out to simply dress up, have a drink, a chat, a dance, take in a show and try out some of the kinky furniture. Thankyou for sharing this and great photography in such a trying environment.

Hey dom....love watching your vids and growing with you in my photography too...

did you use your D300 or Fuji for this one or did you rent something like a D700/D3?

cheers brother

Great shots and a nice wee video, you really need to get an on camera light though! Keep up the good work and maybe bump into you round town.

[colinstu]

Good to hear that you like it! Heh, that stuff is awesome.

Thanks for the annotation telling to turn down the volume too! heh

[pbear23]

Awesome photos as usual. I'm kinda surprised how did you get clear images like that with 1/30..

[dombower]

drank a lot of alcohol which slowed my vibrations,

nah only joking. well some shots were at 1/45th just practice.

[JD95]

wow the model shots turned out great!!

What ISO were you shooting at??

You didn't use any strobes did you?

[dombower]

iso was at 1600 or 3200 almost all of the night, speed at around 30th of a second for most shots, brought a strobe but it looked rubbish so jsut on board flash with the fish eye lens,

@dombower hi dom, did u use a tripod for this shoot?

[dombower]

@zohaiRrR hell no. imagine wondering round a crowded night club with a tripod!

[zohaiRrR]

@dombower haha i kinda figured. love ur videos, they're a beacon of light for newbies everywhere!

*two thumbs up*

[LivingForLOL]

Dom, you naughty boy!!

[ToxicBear]

hey mate!

it was a great eye-opener for me aswell.. not as scary as one might think, so cheers for putting up the video :)

Also, i noticed that u took ur D300... since it was a nightclub and the lighting was going to be poor... how come u didn't take ur D700? although the shots were great regardless! so two thumbs up for u! :D

[dombower]

dont have the d700 that was only rented

[lopezae33]

that looked cool as hell.

[dombower]

sure was, i left the place buzzing, and not buzzing from being drunk ... nor taking drugs, (never take drugs)

[lopezae33]

well.................

that depends on the drug

Looks like a great event for a Nikon D3s

[dombower]

now if only i could get nikon to send one over for me to do a review???

[brt5470]

I liked the outfit at 3:52 to be honest.

What kind of lenses did you bring? You're normal 50mm F1.4, Tokina, and fisheye?

[dombower]

you got it, but in the end only used the 50mm and the fish eye. for a shoot like that a fish eye is very cool
