of Montreal at Cannery Ballroom (1/3/2009)

[LConzett]

I saw Of Montreal last night at Cannery Ballroom in Nashville and brought my camera along. I usually shoot on shutter speed priority mode, but it went all wonky on my midway into the opening band's set (choosing tiny apertures for some weird reason) so this wound up being the first show I shot entirely on manual mode. I think I did alright, especially for being in the fray and not in the photo pit this time.

#1 is nice, apart from the facial expression.

Odd crops on #2 and 3.
(But good timing and expression on 2)

What do you mean by odd crop?

I like the colors of #1.

What do you mean by odd crop?

I'd crop off a bit (both: second person in the BG, lights on the left.), or would have preferred a bit more space on both.
As it is, the subjects are too centered for me.

I like #2 ... nice backlight on hand and interesting perspective with a good moment. The "moment" in #1 doesn't work for me ... she has her hands behind her back.
