Jason Forrest Band @ GogBot Festival, Atak [Large images]

Day 2 of the GogBot Festival included the Jason Forrest Band, which I've shote before. Light was different from the last time. A bit more difficult, but I think I might actually prefer it. (I certainly didn't while shooting). It also helps that you've seen a band before: Makes it a bit more predictable...

All images starting here.

Usual equipment. All images through LR. Exif is there.

#1: Keytar:

#2 would have caused all kinds of problems w/ me in ACR i'd think. you did a nice job w/ PP on that.

3's a real fun shot. 4....headstock....<shakes finger>

5's a nice image though the hand's blown out a bit. 7 i would have cropped tighter. 8's a fun shot too.

all images are nice and sharp.

Thanks!

Straight out of LR

I was trying to keep the mic out of the image... But yeah.

#5: Yep. Not recoverable either in LR. Might be possible by blending two exposures in PS...

#7: Got a point. Don't know why I didn't. Must have liked the space.

#8: Yep, it's a fun band. Would have been nice if I'ld had a bit more room (and time) to move in... One step to the left might have been better.

absolutely love number 2! it has great texture. the shadows are great too. 1, 5, 8 are good too. except am i seeing a little over sharpening around the hand in 5?
great set!

Thanks!

Very probable.
I hadn't looked into the sharpening of LR. (good read here) So my settings, combined with ManykSRS afterward was a bit too much / the wrong way. That's why there seems to be so much noise in #1 as well.

I've some different settings for sharpening now, and I think they work a lot better. (See my Soft machine thread)
