BAND PHOTOS...

[Steve Parr]

I'm slowly, yet surely (I hope), getting this whole live-band photography thing figured out. Some of these were taken with the pop-up flash on my 300D, which I diffused with some homemade diffusers.

These are far from perfect, but they're a Helluva' lot better than the first crop I took:

Thanks, etaf, although I'm still not as far along as I'd like to be in terms of mitigating the need for a flash. I just haven't found the proper mix of ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed.

In time, though... In time.

Thanks again!

Hmmm... didn't take note of them.

You can find the exposure details out in file browser in PS, when u activate an image it shows you the exposure data at the bottom of the browser
