Yesterday I did a fairly short job for a client who wanted me to record her birthday dinner at Harris Manchester College, Oxford. The dinner was the colleges normal evening formal hall, with the added addition of a cake being presented to her. She was particularly keen that I should capture that presentation. As one of the senior members of the college she was seated at the high table and happened to be facing the organ loft, making photos from balcony possible in addition to those from nearer the table. The lighting was challenging as it was fairly dim, but not impossible. Although high ISOs were needed and using the flash meant I couldn’t be as discrete as I would have liked.
