Ash goes to Oz

Our Friends Ash (Achraf) and Stramp went to Australia on June 25th, Ash wanted all his friends to come to a big party before they move.

I must confess, Ash asked me many many times to go with him to the Café-Oz before...

I always declined the offer because I really hate Night Clubs in Paris. (Even if my father was a DJ when I was kid...^^) sorry dude!

This time I went to it but not to dance or somethin'... Noooo I was there to shoot him!

My 2 weapon of choice:

-Digital SLR Nikon D70s + 50mm f:1.8 (the precious!!)

-Analogue SLR Canon AL-1 + 28mm f:2.8 (wiiiiiiiiiide!!) +50mm f:1.8 (ain't no use that time)

Obviously my dear friend Pako was here too, he shot a lot on video and on pictures.

This day, I met classmates I didn't meet for years for some of them...

But it was also the first day of summer, so everywhere in Paris a lot of Bands stood up and played music all night (see fête de la musique)

That means some friends had other commitment and couldn't come.

The Café-Oz became so dark in the night so it was very very hard to take good pictures.

Also people moved a lot, and when you say: please stop moving so I can take the picture! (they stop only 1second...DAaaaamn!!)

Thus I had much work to do on postproduction... (Color, level, brightness etc...)

Anyway, party ended on Sunday morning 5:00. I think Ash was happy...

Here is the final version of the video:

You can find another version just here.

We all hope Ash & Stramp be OK outhere, get a job and do your life boyz!

By the way: I want you to get me a Koala or a Walabi! ^^
