Black Eyed Peas - ARCO Arena 4/7/10

[WaFp]

This was the fourth time seeing the Peas in concert and it was awesome! The wife and I commented that there wasn't as much pushing and shoving in the GA area near the stage as in other concerts...hmmm.

I was able to get some "descent" pics with my SD850 IS, but after seeing them it just made me want to have shot the concert with my 5D. I did the best I could with LR to reduce the noise, but anything over iso 400 made for some really noisy pics.

Enjoy some of my favs from the evening!

Good shots!

It sucks that they suck though.

Yes, noisy, but great captures. And I think they're wonderful. Great concerts don't come often. And the costumes look uncomfortable, but for the money, I bet she doesn't mind. :)

I don't mind the noise at all. Did you do some noise reduction on these shots? I ask because there is a bit of plastic skin going on that I find not so fine. On photo # 2 I would crop tighter and eliminate the piece of Fergie that is seen on the left side. Including her partial body doesn't add to the shot and does distract.
