Photography on manual: 3 –; Day One at re:publica

This week, the Ind.ie team are at re:publica in Berlin, so I’m getting lots of opportunities to take photos that aren’t just of the dog!

re:publica in Berlin

A projected luminous anti-gun symbol on a floor

Projection. A very abstract photo.

Big hallway with lots of seats and a stage at one end. A few people in the distance.

STG-1 (Stage 1) at re:publica. A fairly dark location, lit very strongly at one end. I managed to get a blurry walking man against it all.

Close up photo of Aral Balkan

Close up Aral. Chopped the top of his head off, and he’s a bit coloured by the red light. I’m pleased I managed to get his face in focus, though it’s stronger around his mouth, whereas I guess the eyes is where we should be aiming for sharpness?

Photo of two women speaking on stage from behind the heads of two audience members

Between heads. It’s not the most interesting shot, but I was pleased to get an in-focus photo between the heads in front of me.
