Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival @ Fox Theater 12.31.2008

[thelightofsound]

sorry to be such a stranger, but i have been shooting less music and trying to limit my tronz time.

anyway, i did shoot this show at the fox theater for nye, and it was a blast.

i shot with the (og)5d and 50d. i'm still getting used to the 50d and refuse it use it as my main camera over the 5d. i was more pleased with the results this time though. i will do the first 4 as 5d and last as 50d.

Nice shots, Michael. Derek, while being a great guitarist, is a lousy subject. Nice lighting you got on him. Love the shots of The Fox, especially # 1. Susan is more fun than her husband...lol.

[BucketMan]

Ski is so right.

I shot Derek earlier this year and in almost every pic his hands were blurred. Your shot is spot on and sharp. The 50D's ISO performance is great and the 2.8 aperture is showing its stuff!

Great combo you have there.

[roman_t]

great series. especially two first images are (not because its done with 5d :-) ).

thanks tony. you are def right, which is my i was focused on susan way more than derek. and i really love the first one too, it made renting the fisheye worth it.

thanks bucket. i am still not completely sold the 50d's ISO. i did shoot sRaw on this go round and it might have helped a little. but the 5d is a clear (pun intended) winner. all of these images on both cameras were shot at ISO 1250

great series. especially two first images are (not because its done with 5d :-) ).

thanks for the feed back roman.

Very nice set... You use that fisheye well...

And #5 and #6 look kind of *spacey*, with those light beams shining in the background.

[René Damkot]

Very nice set. #1, 4 and 6 are best IMO.

#3 and 7 are a bit overexposed, while #8 could use a bit more contrast IMO.

[thelightofsound]

thanks for your input john and rené

[narlus]

very cool, and i love the leadoff shot. 5 and 6 are really good too...very good moments in both.

Derek is an awesome musician. Saw him a bunch of years ago and I'm sure he's only gotten better. Nice shots.

[thelightofsound]

thanks tim. the first one seem to be the winner. i took it on my walk home from my ((day)) job before the show started. i should have just stopped there.

and yes CCP, derek is an amazing musician. my first offical photo pass was for the allman brothers band 10 years when he had just started playing with them.

You captured Derek with his eyes open! I'm giving you beaucoups of extra points for that!!!
