4 small local bands, two of which had members who were my friends, so I said I would take pics while I was there for fun. This is my first show, exclusively with the 50 1.8 I got for Christmas.
The lighting for the second 2 bands was terrible, all light from below, no face or toplight, so they looked evil or possessed in every shot...
Here's a few of my favourites:
From the first band with top and a little facelight:

From the 4th band, all bottom light:
![]() | HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO |
![]() | HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO |
Their huddle before their set: I'm in love with this one.
![]() | HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO |
Quite the passionate moment from the 3rd band:
![]() | HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO |
Things I learned:
-It's HARD to headbang and take good photos simultaneously.
-ISO1600 cleans up nicely
-Small bands love posing for photos even while they perform,
