New attempt at pp for small hardcore show

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this forum and post rarely. But lately ive been shooting alot of the local scene in hopes of improving, and these are my latest results.

Ive been experimenting with several techniques to give my photos a very unique feel, and although i think these may be a tad to far, i was hoping for some CC.

Setup was a 10d, Sigma 15-30 ultrawide, and a 430ex. In a terribly lit moose lodge.

Ah = / and forgive the bryanK photography at the bottom.

your use of highlighting kind of bothers me, but they're good anyways.
Watch out next time for all of the cameras and people around you.
I do a lot of indoor hardcore shows and i applaud you cause i know how hard it is to get a good picture when you're being pushed around.

Like i said, just make the highlights more realistic and i think you'll be fine.

Really nice man.

Where'd you shoot those? I live in a NJ, pretty darn close to 609 zip codes.

i used to live in the 609 for about a year. but your shots are great!!

i like the highlighting. i think it gives that edge to it.

Thanks to everyone who responded!

These are from the lacey moose lodge down in south jersey, and the show was Float Face Down's last show.

and pregnantcowlady(lol)- I understand what your saying about the highlighting, and I do agree, but these examples were just to see what others thought of the technique = )

I like the first ... held high and shot down or up on a monopod? I think the PP makes otherwise too common images have a look and feel like a cheap movie, which adds some texture and style. The big failing is that I can't see a single female anywhere and even though I am in California I still find that significantly appealing.

I like #1 and 2. #$ is nice as well. Don't like the PP however.
Vignette is too harsh (restricted to the sides) and there's a greenish cast I don't like. YMMV

ahha thers MABY a 1:50 male to female ratio at the shows

and thanks for the cc rene

Hey brotha I am from the 609 (ewing). Even got the tat on the back of my leg. Nive pics. I miss the little shows. i use to go to a place called the derby firehouse. Bands like Bigwig and Stick figure Suicide use to play there. Keep it real.

I like the shots, caught the action AND the processing is fitting, what exactly did you do in processing?

the effect is a cross between vast over-saturation, extreme contrast, and a mix of green and blue channel adjustments

thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear it wasn't a "must purchase" filter!

i wish =p

but i did make it into an action, even though i don't plan to use it again
