What lens did you use on this shot? Extremely shallow depth of field, maybe an f/1.4 or f/1.2? The focal point is on his chin and by the time it gets back to his teeth it already falls out of focus. Nice composition, the groups name fits... "When I shoot something I use a Canon!"

Makes me want to hear the music they were playing, I'll bet it was really good... There is quite a bit of grain so I assume the lighting was low with high ISO, maybe some noise reduction like Noise Ninja or Lightroom can compensate a little bit... Thanks heaps for the nice comments. Was great music. I am starting to think a bit less noise would be preferable but the band liked the softer noisy feel. I was going to do another set "smoother" to see how they look. Ran out of time on the original set.

"Home is where the head lies" The focus is simply smaller venues and the challenges they bring to photography. #6 is by far my favorite and one of the better back lighting shots I've seen! Spot on focal point of the subject and great use of depth... #1 might use a tighter crop, possibly vertical? I think you'd get a similar effect with less dead space. #2 seems to have a focal point of the guitar instead of the guys face. If that was the intent then you got what you were shooting for but it looks off at first glance. #7 Is a great "eye catcher", looks like you got his attention and he's looking right at the camera. I'll be he'd really like to see this shot. Thanks for the feedback! The only reason #1 is like that is I'm so used to cropping photos to 3:2 aspect ratio. Now that I look at it though after you said it, I think it would look better with a vertical crop. Bodies:

overstable Junior Member 28 posts Likes: 1 Joined Apr 2013 Location: STL More info | Dec 18, 2013 23:22 | #356 Fantastic shots of Carly! #3 is my fave. She is such a dynamo on stage. I saw Mike Dillon Band twice this year - once in the spring opening for Umphrey's McGee and then in October at Yonder Harvest Festival. While I greatly enjoy experiencing their "punk jazz" style in person, it's not the kind of music I'd play at home. They are definitely worth checking out if they are playing near you. Mike Dillon is a beast - I've never witnessed a better vibes player.

Dec 20, 2013 15:53 | #358 I agree with you all the way. I'm not a punk rocker (too old) but they do it intriguingly (is that a word?) and tastefully. It was an after party show for Dragon Smoke. I thought I'd catch a song or 2 but was mezmerized and stayed until 3:30a and still had to drive an hour to get home. Mike is the man on the vibes and their live performance is a real show stopper! overstable wrote in post #16538729 Fantastic shots of Carly! #3 is my fave. She is such a dynamo on stage.

Dec 20, 2013 16:32 | #359 Love #3, was the stage lighting green? #5 is excellent too. What is STL? steelbluesleepr wrote in post #16540108 Here's some from the last local (STL) show I shot. The headliners are friends of mine and asked me to shoot, so I just went ahead and shot the whole show. "When I shoot something I use a Canon!"
