These are incredible. What type of noise reduction do you use? It's the little things that make these great shots !!;)

#2, 3 (insane amount of keyboards and stuff) and 4 are very nice.

Hi there. Thank you for the comments. I didn't use any kind of noise reduction software besides the one that Canon 400D uses in camera. These pictures were made with Canon 400D using the fabulous Canon 70-200mm L USM IS.

All the best,:D

Very nice! The one with all the keyboards is exceptional.

Lovely shots, especially the last one.
I saw him at the RAH in London a while ago and although i could have taken my 40D ( we were in a box and you don't get searched) i took my Fujif31Fd with me and didnt really get much worth looking at.

Thanks again for the comments. Well this concert was really something, not only because the music itself it's quite unique but also because it was the first time I really blew the whole management rules that stated that all photographers could only shoot the first two songs. Anything else could only be shot in the highest seats in the building, which, by the way were lousy. And what I did? As soon as I could, I came again to the lower level of the theater and shot every details I could, until the concert manager saw what I was doing and asked me if I could shot the whole concert, because they were experiencing some new effects on stage. It was great, and not only I worked for them, I got the chance to personally meet Jean Michel Jarre. Nowadays, whenever I spot a chance to sneak around, I do it, and it's my common belief that as a photojournalist I should do this, as it is what gives me the diferent pictures comparing with my fellow workers. All the best!

I like #2 and #3...insane amount of keyboards...lots of oberheim synths

Nice. I went to his concert in Copenhagen in april. The officials were really agressive towards people with small P&S and cell phone cameras.

As for amount of keyboards. I think a friend of mine counted around 50 different keyboards on stage.

Fantastic shots and a classic example of the importance of the photographer rather than the camera. Well done :-)
