Bastid’s BBQ, Day 2

Day two of an outdoor BBQ and DJ event staged under a concrete overpass. No single vantage covers it: a truck stage at one end, a boardwalk dance floor at the other, vendor tents and a screen truck between. Coverage had to run from hard afternoon sun through to stage light after dark. The recurring problem was contrast, blown sky past the bridge deck, deep shade beneath it. Most frames are built along that shade line, and the booth is worked close.

Bright sky past the deck, deep shade beneath.
