The Mediaeval Baebes @ Atak (2nd)

Well, Anouk already posted shots of the concert, so I'm a bit late to the party, but I think it'lll offer a nice comparison on different styles of shooting.

Also keeps me "sharp" to have someone shoot the same venue I do. Sometimes we get different shots, sometimes one sees something the other doesn't, sometimes I'm clearly outperformed...

These images are oversharpened; I still need to look into the sharpening, and turn down Manyk a bit...

All images can be seen here.

So, let's cut the smalltalk, and get on with some images:

#1: Baebe:

Okay, you already know what I think about the pics

(#6,) #7 and #8 maybe a little bit (just a little bit) dark. Too bad #7 isn't all sharp.

#8 nice angle, same goes for a few more @ rest of your pics from upper side of the stage.

#4 may need some more blacks, #3 really nice but maybe a little bit too light at the background.

I know you aren't really satisfied with this pics, but still: nice photos.

Which one are you?

Lovely images though, René. I think I might be booking tickets to these comely lasses in January.

See this topic, I was the only female photographer that night, the girl on the left standing on the table taking pictures

The one wearing my Billingham 335...
Happy to say she bought her own 445 now

i guess i missed this thread. i love the lighting for this set, esp as captured in 3. 4 would be real nice if the background wasn't so bright. 6 is well done also; it seems like they are full of "looks". lots of people in the shots which takes a bit away when they are not contributing to the image.

#4 is definitely my favorite. Didn't care for #7 though. Good shots all around.

Well, I think An should take Anke's nom-de-plume ... "That Rump Shot is Just Adorable!" Still wondering why you Dutch are so shy?

[Edit: I just saw Renee's visage and now understand why he hides behind beautiful redheads!]

Number 7 is a nice shot of them and crowd interaction.
Perspective gives good depth.
Rim light on photogs in front.
A lot of photogs!

rené, good shots, but i'd agree that anouk captured the moments a bit better. very nice to see a different perspective and PP from the same show, though. i think some of these shots suffered from too much audience in the foreground

Yep. I should have moved around and through the audience more...
Then again, Anouk was working that night for Atak, I was having fun, so I didn't want to be too much of a hindrance for the paying audience. There was quite enough of that already

I did have quite a few images with motion blur, partly because the use of long lenses, partly because not paying enough attention

See, I told you Anouks shots were better

well there you go anouk. you're not going to find a better complement that that. i think it's pretty much accepted that rené is one of the best around here.

I really like #4.

Very good capture. Doesn't need more black for me.

Beautiful faces, shapely bodies, great smiles, perfect teeth... Nothing wrong with these beauties... Nothing wrong with these pics either.
