Okay, last picture post today, I promise!
1-3: Everthus the Deadbeats
I photographed these guys in near dark awhile back, so I thought I would give it another go. Things worked out a little better this time, you know, since there were lights and stuff.
4-7: The Z's (from NY I think)
The Z's were pretty interesting. They sat in a circle facing eachother because a lot of their timing was based on watching eachother. They also played to sheet music. It was pretty difficult to try to photograph around the music stands etc., but luckily I can get around the side of the stage at this venue.
As usual, more pics and exif info can be found on my zenfolio
Thanks for looking.
1 **edited version (again) - I gave up and went monochromatic
2. This is probably the sharpest concert photo I've ever taken. Resized and converted to jpeg it doesn't look like much, but I was pretty surprised when I first loaded up the original raw. Got to love the 100 f/2.
3. **edited version. This color balance is more representative of the actual lighting at the time. I guess if you can't get it right, leave it alone (or go b&w!).
4 **edited version with some cloning
5. The music stand got in the way of this one a little. It was near impossible to get this guys face as he was looking back at the drummer most of the time.
6. Not so sharp, but I still liked this one
7. Clapping
. I seriously need to get my wife on board to help me with the whole color balance thing!
You've got more links applicable to manipulating concert images (I know they aren't intended for that specific purpose) than anyone else.
