This is a continuation of my post about the Voltage Fashion 2005 at First Avenue from yesterday. It is very encouraging to see that indeed Minneapolis can and does have a fashion scene.

Many of the other models and most of the fashion that night was similarly striking. It was very difficult contending with the other photographers for good shots. It was very discouraging to finally get a good angle and then have the focus be off or to have your subject move.

I shot without a flash because, well, frankly the on-camera flash just is not suited well to shooting upwards at models on a runway and my old 5400HS is completely incompatible with this camera. On of these days I'm going to have to replace it. You really feel crippled in a shooting situation like this one without having at least a good cord mounted flash and a box to bounce the light.
