first bar shoot

[merman]

a friend of mine was opening for a musician named Jayk at Franks in Guelph, i decided to bring my camera and give it a try.
I had a lot of problems getting the hang of it, alot of the pictures came out blurry or under exposed. I did manage to get some good ones tho!
i pretty much left my camera on program, and varied iso's all over the place. I also used the exposure lock anytime i got a a good exposure from the crappy bar lights.
the first (BW) i locked the exposure when i got 1/80th @ f5 with a 28-80mm lense and no flash
the second please critique the hell out of it! i Really like the effect i got, and i have learned how to use the rear curtain to give motion and such to a picture. So let me know what i can do to improve it because i think it could be a very interesting shot! camera still on program, rear curtain flash f3.5 and i dont know what the shutter was, it just said LO

btw the artist in both shots is Jayk

p.s when i comes to black and white i am a whore for grain
