Band Photos with a 20d and kit lens!

Hey friends,

I figured you might enjoy this. Here is a kit lens (18-50) and a older 20d with a dirty sensor. I was in Sacramento visiting family and I left my camera at home. A band coming through the area asked me to shoot them with their camera. One of the shots I used a 50mm 1.8.

Not quite done with post yet, but I figured you guys might enjoy it! I know its not quite the right section for this. I am posting to show what can be done with a 20d and a kit lens. Any suggestions are more than welcome! Feel free repost your ideas.

I like the last one..Killer shots in all..

Awesome shots, all great. Awesome PP. Was the processing similar for some of the shots (like 2, 3, 5 and 6)?

Nice to see work with an 'ancient' body and a 'crappy' lens.

hey thanks. yeah they are 3 shots separated by 2 stops each, then merged together to create that effect.

Cheers!

Very cool. I live in Sacramento and I recognize all these locations...I especially like #4.

What is the name of the band?

So I wend to best buy to get a memory card... and they had a 40d in stock! WOOOOO HOOOO!!! *opening it now*

1,2,3 and the last are my favourite. I think especially 1

you cut his toes off in number 2 though

the HDR is severely overdone in my opinion.

i really like the composition but that HDR look is not really working for me.

Not being a smarta$$ but isn't the kit lens 18-55? These are very good pics, are they tonemapped?

I like no5 but the last one is the best for me
