Lexington Record Fair Camden 7th May



For this final shoot, at the Lexington Record Fair in Camden, I used my Canon 5D mk1 with a Minolta 4000 AF shoe mount flash that was aimed direct at my subject. Consistently with my previous shots, I used an aperture of 2.5. However on this shoot, I forgot about obtaining a 28mm lens and instead used my 50mm 1.8.

After it was suggested in a critiquing session, I have decided to crop all my final images into square to reflect the shape of the records. This is also compatible with my idea of creating the pictures for a digital medium such as a website, which often use pictures cropped to untypical rectangles or square - particularly when it is in a long column of a table, sandwiched between text, in the layout. (See above for example from here.)
