Jekyll & Hyde High School

[Jam71868]

This is my first attempt at any kind of Live Performance photography.

The shot is green because they had green lights shining on just him from below. This was the moment the "monster" was coming out.

The second photo is of two of the chorus girls.

C&C Please

Nothing?

A few things: first off: Nice timing on both. Green on the first doesn't bother me. Fits the subject. A bit more detail in the whites would have been nice though.
Second does look a bit soft. Probabely due to using 1/30s at 200mm.

Second: Convert the images to sRGB before posting on the web: To all the folks using a non color managed browsers (ie: PC users) these images will look washed out.

i like the first shot and for your first attempt its really good.

Rene about sRGB, im getting a mac on saturday, and well do i need to know more about this? and if so you know where i can find it?

Is it better to shoot in sRGB in the first place? I have heard different things about this.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Congrats on the MAC purchase. If you post images to the web you should try to make them as compatable as possible. Most users are PC users that do not recognize aRGB or other color spaces. My recommendation is that you convert the image to sRGB right before you post to the web.

No, you should shoot in the largest color space available from your camera. The best thing to do is shoot RAW then use 16 bit aRGB to edit and save tiffs in. Final step is to size for distribution or web and in this step change to 8 bit and sRGB.

Oh the images... I forgot to say something about the images. LOL!

I love the moment captured in the first. The green is ok because that is what the lights were. The second seems to be missing something IMHO.

Not going to hyjack this thread, so I'm gonna keep this short:

You allready need to know more about it ;)
Try the RAW and Post Processing forum on POTN. Do a search on 'color management', 'sRGB vs. AdobeRGB' or 'whased out colors'. I'ld think you'll find tons of threads...

Are these the results from a 70-200mm Lens? Where is this from?

The composition is real nice...the subjects you chose to shoot have very nice eye appeal as well...

The white shirt is washed out to some degree...maybe adjusting exposure values in RAW processing would help...

the first one is kinda cool
