I photographed a rave with a full manual (including focus) setup. My keeper rate was uhhh........... quite small.

i really do think im good at "taking photos"
remembering why i was putting off editing the shots from this show, they weren't that great
been a minute since i brought out the Q
i have cleared backlog up to image 9X9P2019... out of (as of posting) 4006*. yeah. yeah. YEAH.
*many interim images are things i've already edited, and the majority of photos i take are not keepers
from sunday
chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo
can only see these images tagged to edit for so many months before i either gotta just edit or decide its not really worth editing
endless task
just put a piece of paper on top of the scanner and boom it fixes the light angle problem. still gotta remove the lights from the scanning head though it washes out the image .. and maybe gotta look into writing custom scanner firmware to actually control exposure cuz once those clouds went away i was just getting pure white captures (oh wait i could just make an aperture for the lens. lollll). this shot turned out nice though

@(: I did end up "discovering" this for myself over the night, ended up basically zone focusing and raising ISO to shoot at like f5.6, by the end of it I realized I was kinda just canceling out any advantage the full frame sensor was giving me in the low light :P so all the shots that were acceptably in focus also have little to no subject background separation oopsie (i did take a thousand images though, so even with a low keeper rate the # of keepers is absolutely okay for what I was doing /shrug)
a classic street photography technique was to preset the focus at a fixed distance (say, focus at 5 meters with a decent depth of field) in order to take pictures very quickly without focusing. idk if that would even work in the context you were in, sharing for the curiosity factor
(this picture is neat too)
