Social Photo Sharing: Instagram | General Setup

Instagram

What’s that — a second video tutorial today?  We couldn’t hold back on this one, and while it is a fairly simple process, Brian shows us how to make the most of setting up a new Instagram account in the 2nd of many iOS / iPhoneography / Instagram video tutorials presented on IShootReno.com.

The general setup process for a new Instagram account begins with finding Friends who are already using Instagram from sources such as your Contact List and popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

The setup process continues by Inviting New Friends to join you on Instagram from your Contact List, properly setting up your Public and Private Profile and finishes up with a quick walkthrough of managing important features like Push Notifications, Sharing Settings and Privacy.

Das Racist @ Cargo in CommRow, Reno, NV 2012-04-03

Have I mentioned recently that my interest in shooting more shows at Cargo @ CommRow is on the rise?  This semi new-ish venue in downtown Reno is bringing in some great talent these days, with plenty of national touring acts (Murs, K.Flay, The Green) and with the first sell-out show coming from local vocal hero Whitney Myer, there is no doubt that more will be catching on to the growing buzz surrounding this elegant nightspot.

I showed up to the venue a little early for Das Racist’s show on Tuesday, April 4th and not having seen any opening acts mentioned on the Facebook event or ticketing Website, I was curious to see what this alternative rap trio from Brooklyn had up their sleeves for their 2012 Reno, NV performance.  There were several younger fans there ahead of me and I had the pleasant opportunity to chat with both the female bartender on duty for the evening and the venue’s Production Manager, Dan Bishop, who were both a joy to share words with.

The show started shortly after 9PM with an illuminated screen filled with projections of psychedelic waves surrounding a large domesticated feline being ridden by a juxtaposed animated character whose face switched between ex-pres. George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden.  There’s a shot of that below if you’d like a visual to accompany the description.

The three members of Das Racist (Heems, Kool A.D. & Dapwell) made their way onto stage with an air of wit and humor, and after a couple songs began to pass out jumbo-sized bags of gummy worms and (presumably warm cans of) Tecate to the audience.  There was also a chicken dinner plate and cantaloupe offered up to the crowd, both of which are also included in the Super Happy Fun Bonus (B&W) Pics featured at the end of this post.

The show lasted about an hour and the trio of east coast gents made a point of hanging out with their fans at the merch booth directly outside of the venue’s 3rd floor entranceway.  A true testament to the intimate live music experience Cargo @ CommRow provides to both local and visting concertgoers.

Camera settings on my  Nikon D7000 + AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED body and lens combination included a range of ISO from 1600 – 6400 and steadily held aperture and shutter speed settings of f/2.8 and 1/200th of a second, respectively.

There was no photo pit, but front of stage access was pretty easy to come by, and with a little bit of leaning room available at nearly every angle, a variety of close-up shots were within reach, provided ample lighting was in frame.  I was also able to move around behind the front of stage crowd for a couple interesting shots encompassing more of the high up stage lighting and a more wide angle view of the venue’s atmosphere for that evening.  Needless to say, these things please me as a live music photographer.  Thanks Cargo / CommRow!
