Iain Fergusson: Christchurch Social Life & Nightlife Photographer

I’ve just got back from taking some photos in town. It was kinda slow and the general mood was not as celebratory as it was over December and January. That seems to be a trend.

She even had to explain to some people that she was not famous. Although I think the truth was a little difficult for some to comprehend as well. It is rather odd that a stranger would take photos of you all night just because you asked.

I had a lot of fun as well. I took lots of photos. It was very cool to be part of something so spontaneous, fun and unique.

I tried shooting in RAW format again last night. I think the results after processing are much better than shooting in JPEGformat.

Another bonus for using RAW is I can only take about 90 photos, compared to about 400. This means I can’t get completely overwhelmed by taking too many photos.

I went to Classical Sparks last night. I hoped that I’d get some photos of people, but no one asked me. Where are the cocky teenagers when you need them?

Anyway here are some of my shots.
