After dropping these shots into a thread about SC29s I thought I'd post them in the proper place to share. Three club shots where if I hadn't had the SC-29 I wouldnt have been able to get the same results. Focusing in a very dark nightclub like the goth clubs requires AF assist - the backlights are the dancefloor strobes. I shoot almost only ever using these settings in clubs - exif from one of these shots:

Great work Mark,
love your use of the spotlight/backlight in #2 & #3.

thankyou
I was trying for the same effect in all three but the backlighting changes so damn quickly with the rear strobes (colour and shape and brightness) that it's half good timing and half good luck.
