A capella concert

codex0 · 22nd of October 2005 (Sat)

Last night I went to the a capella sampler here at PSU. There were some great groups. Here are a couple of my shots of the Pennharmonics. Unfortunately, I had to shoot at ISO 3200 with my nasty sigma 70-300 (not even the apo version) to get these, so they're not the best. However, I think for web purposes they turned out fairly well.

Any suggestions other than a bit of USM and buying that 70-200 f2.8? Color balance was pretty tough with this as they used various gelled lights. There was a noink user in the dead front center who was using a flash; I refrained from using one to keep the coloring and atmosphere of the concert (also to not bug the performers, though they gave me permission to use a flash).

Some more from this series can be found at http://www.codex0.info/pennharm/index.html

Anything? Comments? Criticism? Belches?

I'm not sure why you haven't gotten any replies yet. I think these are very good. I like the rich colors of the different colored stage lights and your exposures look very good for what can be difficult metering.

Nice job!

Sorry I missed these. They are all very good especially using the Sigma. I don't think I could have done half as good as you did.
