Doug Plummer is a professional photographer who is now producing video using his Canon digital SLR and a Zoom H4N. He's also a fan of contra dancing and the associated music scene.

He has a good blog about what he does, and in a recent post included this note about getting the sound for a video of a contra dance:

"I asked the sound guy to let me plug my Zoom H4N into the board (with my cables—always bring your own). Having just sound from the board feels too cold, as there's no ambient room tone. But on 4 Channel mode the onboard stereo mics record simultaneously, and I aimed the Zoom from the stage towards the dance hall. These two streams were my only audio for the piece."

Thought that might interest people doing similar work.
