Well, you still don't know much then, so on with the images ;)

Not too much action on stage, but some nice expressions on harp and chello player. Also, movement was somewhat restricted, because the audience was sitting down part of the time, and the music was kinda quiet...


C&C welcome...

Red channel issues in #1? Pity about the neck position in #5 obscuring the face ... looks as though she was hiding. Looks like a classical gig ... someone else posted here recently with a sampler guy who did jazz ... I had listen and was pleasantly surprised.

#1 and #2 are interesting subjects and faces...
#3. is a welcome addition to the show perspective...
#4. I trust is a xylophone, not often seen or mastered...personally, I'd prefer to see more of the playing surface... Nothing a tall ladder couldn't fix... If they'd only let you bring one in... Or is there an upstairs for a low light long zoom lens?
#5. is the face at issue.
#6. is real nice...

So what's that guy on the MAC doing to the music?

EDIT: Is he conducting? Or composing on the fly for next time?

[René Damkot]

Thanks guys!

On #5: I actually liked the intens 'peering around the corner look'.
But I guess you'ld like this better?
