band practice

This is my first attempt to try and shoot band practice. I went with my friend (drummer) to this practice last week. It was in a rather dark garage with almost no space to move around.

Gear used was EOS 350D, 50mm 1.8 and 420EX

C&C welcome!


1.

Not bad for a first try (or any try for that matter).
I like the energy in the first. Looks a bit soft though.
#2: Head in the way.
#3: More face would have been nice. If she's looking toward her hand, I'ld like to see that hand.
#4: Nice smile, but like #3, cropped a bit close.
#5: Nice. Could be cropped a bit tighter even.
#6: Needs a bit less headroom, and a bit more at the bottom and sides.

Putting numbers with the images helps giving C&C

Thanks! It was hard trying to frame them properly. I was literally squeezing in between speaker units, tripping over wires and leaning against walls to get those shots. The 18-55mm kit lens is not fast enough so I was stuck using the 50mm only.

The "softness" was my intent from the get go though. All their other pictures (shot by someone else) were too "rough".

Thanks again!

I meant 'soft' as in "out of focus" in #1 (focus on the shoulder, not the face I'd say)

Please number your pics... images are kinda small...

Interesting faces... pleasant mood... nice captures...post more as you get them...

sorry...fixed
images are small since im trying to save up on space on my online account. I max out my photo accounts rather quickly

thanks!

I like these pics but I'm confused by the EXIF: 3.2", f25?

The exif data isnt accurate since that is based on the template for my watermarks. Those were all shot at 1/125 at f 1.8, ISO 200
