cheers Dwight.

[Burrelly]

Not one of your better sets.

Can you explain why Burrelly? as i was pretty pleased with how this band turned out (photo wise)

cheers john, :)

I don't mean to overstep your question to Burrelly but I'll give you my two pence. With the exception of #7 they're kinda plain. They are all from about the same angle. There are no full stage shots. In most there isn't a sense of 'urgency' or big emotion although we understand you don't control this to much extent. They seem soft (as though not sharpened for the web.) We have seen you do much more interesting work.

ok, most indie bands are plain, and no movement on stage apart from singer. they dont even smile.
They look sharp on my screen, not sure how to calibrate or whatever for sharpness?? (any ideas)

thats fine for overstepping, i like feedback.

The promoter i worked for gave me a txt the day after he saw them saying that he was really pleased and one of the best sets iv done for him (phew)

I thought that the rich colours were really nice too.

cheers Dwight.

Phot wise yes they are good but as I posted in the other thread a technically good photo does not mean it is a good photo. As Dwight said this set just seems a little plain and lack emotion and that is a big part of capturing an amazing gig photograph.

Take the image of the drummer for example the look on his face is a bit like I wish this would finish so I can go get my dinner. I am sure at somepoint in that gig he had more emotion in his face?

As Dwight also points out they all seem to be from the same angle.

Some of your other work is much better than this hence my comment :)

No worries said pretty much what I was thinking :)

#7! Nice.

Cheers Rene,

Does anyone know a good way of Calibrating a IMAC, as i have done it but from responses i have got from here its making me think its not done properly?

Cheers.

[René Damkot]

Use a calibrator? ;)
