The Crystal Method played their DJ set to a packed house at BETA, mixing a few of their own tracks such as “Vapor Trail” and “Busy Child”, which was mixed in nicely with a little Rage Against the Machine’s, “Guerrilla Radio.”

About the shots:

Because there was little to no direct light on the DJ’s, I had to use a flash to obtain clear/sharp photos. For the clear photos, I shot at around 1/200 sec, with a varying f-stop. For the photos that capture the natural colors, I kicked up the ISO to 1600, opened up my 24-70 f/2.8 lens all the way and set the shutter to around 1/5 sec. If you time the shot just right, you can come up with some pretty interesting shots with these settings. I should also mention that I don’t yet have an external flash, so what you see here is all on board flash.
