Neil and Kassi at The Compound Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

Panasonic Lumix DC Vario at 200 ISO. This was shot under stage light with no flash at a club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

Indoor, stage lighting

Using an auto setting was fine. I tried it at 400 ISO, and it was too bright and grainy. The auto setting was good. I didn't have time to use the other multi-shot postions. If I could have, I would have reduced the aperture to a tight shot with no background.

Advice

  • Be sure to try different settings to get the right color saturation.
