Shooting a bar on a Saturday night

Last shots of the day. Again, same scenario as the previous blog
entries. Only thing that was different was the exposure. It was
extremely dark in there, but also colorful so I knew I was going to do
some sort of motion blur. I set the camera on a tripod and my exposure
was at ISO 400, f/6.3, 3 seconds. I prefocused on the girl and turned
the auto focus off. Because it is so dark sometimes the auto focus
will go out of focus and you won't tell. And bseides shooting with a
wide lens and at f/6.3 I had a good depth of field. Becuase there was
no ambient light hitting the subject, she looks very sharp while
during the remaining 3 seconds everything else gets blurred from
movement.
