Darts and Pool: Barroom Games

Posted on Aug 9, 2013 in Photos of the Week | 0 comments

First, I’ve gotta say, its been a looong time since I’ve been out to a bar or club to see a band and play darts or pool so know that these photos are a few years old. 🙂

A friend and former co-worker of mine is a drummer and one of the bands he plays with is The Signal.

When we still worked together I would go to their shows with other friends and co-workers, enjoy the music, enjoy the drinks and take some photos.

It was fun and I grew to like taking photos in the dark bar setting because I got to use my fast prime lenses with no flash.

It was a good exercise in finding the best exposure and keeping a still, steady hand.

 

Oh yeah, and see that bullseye on the dart board below?

Bullseye! Three skillfully placed American Flag darts hitting the bullseye on a bar room dart board. Pentax *ist DS.

Yeah, I’m not that good.

I am pretty good at sticking darts on the board from one foot away though!

I do miss the band and barroom photography.  Maybe now that I’m getting back into my photography I might get out and do some new shots.

We shall see…

Have a great weekend and go out to make some new photographic memories!
