El Guapo Stunt Team @ Atak [large imgs]

[René Damkot]

Rock 'n' Roll in Atak, Enschede.
Support acts in seperate threads....

Headliner of the 'Rock and Roll Explosion' was Belgian band El Guapo Stunt Team (http://www.elguapostuntteam.be/).

A little less energetic then their support act 'The Stilettos', but still not slouchy :)

This night was a nice test to see how flare resistant some of my lenses were...
It was also a good testcase to get my workflow as efficient as possible; over 700 exposures, of which over a 110 were processed. More then half of them twice, to allow blending of exposures.

So, I guess I can say my workflow is more streamlined now, thanks to Rock 'n' Roll ! :lol:

Exif should be there, everything shot at ISO 1600. 1DMk2, lenses from 20 to 200mm, aperture probabely (almost) wide open.

All images somewhere from the middle here (http://www.moonglade.net/~rene/060616%20Ottofest/index4.htm).

I like them all! No bare male chests, either. :-) I could never process so many and never twice, sigh ... you young guys are lucky to have all that energy.

[René Damkot]

Thanks all!
Narlus: About #3: The LesPaul is the guitar I presume? About the drummer (#4): Yeah, I think this is a nicer image then the other ones taken from higher with a 200mm.
James: I'm curious 'bout your shots. What festival?
Dwight: The Mac does most of the work. Selecting takes most time, Actual work in Photoshop is about 1 to 2 minutes per image...

Rene, the shot of the drummer is excellent. Not only did you time the cymbals correctly, but you also had the requisite lighting!
