Floater @ The Zoo (Roseburg, Oregon)<\/p><\/div>\n

Floater at The Zoo was a rather strange experience for many reasons. The stage is only a foot or so off the ground. That coupled with girls on shoulders and security trying to keep people off the stage meant you couldn’t always see much of the band.<\/p>\n

The sound was also messed up. The band couldn’t hear themselves as the stage monitors didn’t work. Sometimes the mix was bad or instruments couldn’t be heard in the audience either.<\/p>\n

I did finally figure out how to get decent audio on my D7000 (Low instead of Auto setting for video audio). However, the lighting was so poor (the audience was better lit than the band) that I couldn’t get the autofocus to work for video so after a minute or so in the following video I shifted to manual focus which worked much better.<\/p>\n
