Talking Pictures explores the Bay Area through photography and video, combining original work from The Bay Citizen with a weekly showcase by independent makers. I’ll be posting in-progress photography projects, innovative video and multimedia pieces, even outtakes from news assignments.
Have a photo or video story you would like to show? Then contact me at asambamurthy@baycitizen.org.
Here are two outtakes from our Friday story about the closure of Coda Supper Club's impact on the local jazz music scene, which also ran in the New York Times Bay Area pages.
The first one was made with a 50mm lens, f1.4 at 1/30 of a second, handheld. It's not quite sharp, but I think using a flash in this situation would have destroyed the ambience of the place, and would have been too intrusive.

The second imge was made with a 200mm lens at f2.8 at 1/15 of a second, also handheld. I like this one, wish the timing was a bit better, so that the clapping was more vigorous.
