Legends NYE brought DJ Micro, Thee-O, Wilhelm K, and former Utah resident, Koppertop together at the South Towne Expo Center. This was a new venue for Utah's rave scene, and the bar has been been raised a few notches for lighting and stage production.

Normally I'm confident that I got the best shots of the night, but with this stage rig providing such awesome light, I'm sure I'm not the only one who came away with some really good shots. My flashes were pretty much redundant here. I kept turning them off when they weren't needed. With a stage this bright, my equipment advantage was pretty much neutralized. I could have captured many of these shots with a $100 compact camera. Anybody with a good eye for light angles and timing could have come away with DJ shots like these NYE.

Nights like this one just serve to remind me, it's not the equipment that makes great shots. It's the 8 inches behind the camera.
