Description


---
At the PDN PhotoPlus Expo in NYC (just before Hurricane Sandy hit).
---
Several of the larger digital camera companies typically stage scenes (models, dancers, jugglers, etc.) They place several tethered new camera models in front of the booth, where prospective camera buyers can use one of their own memory cards and use the tethered cameras to photograph the scene.
------
This was one such company-sponsored booth. I used my own Canon 7D to shoot this scene. No flash.
-----


Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 1.67, ExposureTime: 1/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 3200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 42.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
