Shot my second real show ever on Saturday night. The Lexington, KY based band Tula does a tribute to the Band's Last Waltz that features musicians from the Kentucky and Nashville music scenes. Being a huge fan of The Band and wanting to get more concert experience under my belt I took quite a few photos. It really made me wish I had a faster lens. I used my Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3OS which worked out well byt there were quite a few shots that I wish I had a shallower DOF on. At one point there was over a dozen people on stage so I just said gently caress trying to shoot too many group shots. I was not happy with my composition so I mainly tried to shoot portraits which is my strong point. (clicking the photos will link to the set)   The drummer was a blast to shoot. The lighting was pretty drat good so I got some nice ones of him.  I'll probably go into Photoshop and make the DOF artificially shallower on this one when I have more time  I love the fact that some of the light on his face is actually the reflection off of his guitar's headstock   I'm coming to find out that I really like shooting concerts. Being a musician I think I'm pretty good at finding little things and I know what kind of photos I would like to have taken of me. This show also worked out very well because it's a venue I have played a lot, I know the songs better than some of my own which means I knew who was about to take a solo etc. I also met a pro who was very nice and we chatted for a bit about photos and she liked my work. Considering the fact I am still very new at this feedback which would be much appreciated. ZoCrowes fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Feb 8, 2010 |

pwn posted:I wouldn't change a thing. I glanced over the description of the event and looked at the photos. When I saw this, it made me think of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" because I'm obsessed with The Last Waltz too. Then finding out that this was from a Band/Waltz tribute concert... yeah, don't futz with it. It evokes exactly what it is meant to evoke. It screamed it to me and I had no idea the photo's origins. Thanks I really appreciate it. It was a drat good show. Maybe I will keep it the way it is then. I was actually asked to join the Band talking to them after the show because they need a new bass player since theirs is moving to Nashville. I'm contemplating it however I'm a guitarist who can play bass and I would be filling some pretty big shoes. At the very least I hope they ask me to play the next go round with them. I would love to play guitar on Who Do You Love. I'm kind of obsessed with The Band. I've got the brown album framed on the wall in my living room. I'm still jealous you got to see Redbone and Kotke. My buddy saw Kotke a few years back and he said that the rambling stories thing you mentioned is very true. The dude will take longer to describe a song than it does to play it.

So the other week I shot one of my favorite bands at the moment, The Wooden Sky, in a very small, cozy venue. The show it's self was amazing and the atmosphere was great. But this bar had HORRIBLE lighting. But I still had fun and spoke with their tour manager for about 30-40 minutes. Full band, front mans face is over exposed but it was eihter that or everything else even more under exposed.

I took these shots while I was actually doing a video shoot, I had some down time while we were gathering people. I would love to do more local show photography but all I have is a Canon SX110 which really hates low light situations.   Click here for the full 1024x768 image.

I wish my camera wasn't new and that I had enough time to take a few more but I was under time constraints as it was for the video shoot, all the members were dressed up silly with about 20 more people in a tiny rented practice space.

The lift off took off in that last picture- he started flying, but I thought her turned around looked better. I got a few of him flying, Fergie stepped right to me and I was getting her full in wide angle and then the promoter tapped me for time. I was hoping she would pee on me. Not a perv.

Eeek posted:There was other Non-Fergie bands there, too: I'd definitely brighten some of these up a bit... were you really shooting at ISO 400? Why not bump it up to 800 to get a better exposure? some of these are a bit on the dark side. MMD3 fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Feb 10, 2010 |

The dynamic range was crazy- 400 was fine when he was on the stage- if fact, 100 would have worked. He jumped from stage, hugged the crowd and jumped back up- all told he was there for less than 10 seconds. It's not that I was shooting at 400, I didn't have a chance to change it. eh, let me step back from that- 400 was fine on stage, but 640 would for sure muddle it with the lights they had.

You might be able to disguise the graininess of the photos by converting them to black and white. You can also artificially decrease the depth of field in the second shot in photoshop. It's fairly easy and there are tutorials all over the internet. ZoCrowes fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Feb 10, 2010 |

took your word for it and made that picture black and white, the reason a lot of my shots were grainy was when I bought the camera the first thing I did was put CHDK on there and it was fighting over what ISO it should use all the time I am sure it was just a rookie mistake.

Steve Aoki had some hardcore bullshit attached to it, but it came out all right. We're going through pictures now, should be some awesome stuff. Edit: I do spray and pray. Dreggory takes like 6 exposures per hour. http://photos.dunxphoto.com/Music/Aoki2/

I was extremely lucky, being the venue photog, to shoot Polysics. Their tour manager is a bit uptight and blunt. Enacting a "three songs, no flash" in a 500 person venue is sorta crazy but I lived. It was just like shooting at the large venue, the second I put my camera away, they all moved from their mics. But still, very awesome show. This shot of Hiro is from when they first took the stage, I had to lean back while my friend made sure I didn't fall over. Jemina Pearl threw a fit at her band the whole set and was generally uncomfortable to shoot. I don't think she is going to have a career after this tour, which is mostly over from my understanding. Talented girl, terrible attitude. I'm aware this isn't a great shot but for only a few moments did she not have her hair in her face like Cousin It.

HPL posted:And the lights brightened up and they all started hitting awesome poses? Not at a 500 person venue. I forgot to add that before they came on their tour manager got on the mic and told everyone that if he catches them taking photos he's personally throwing them out and they can "have fun in the snow". Spent most of the show standing on a monitor staring at the crowd. Last night we had a college band, which means they draw 50 people from 3 hours away who came just to watch (insert nickname) and (drinking nickname) play for 40 minutes then go back to middle-of-nowhere Illinois. So for a whole set it looks like a really decent draw and when the touring band comes on there's no one. They had a friend come out and shoot who did this a lot:  He's got a smaller Nikon in his hand and a D2/D3 on his hip which I never saw him use. Brosef wasn't even using rear or slow sync so I hope they like their vacation shots.

If you know who he is, check his portfolio. He probably does a lot of skateboard/snowboard/(sport involving wheels, snow or dirt) photos. The guys that do that seem to shoot like that a lot.

The local paper uses stock photos from the band and hey just shut down the local culture magazine that had food, music, events in it. Any photographer I've seen at the NorVa was there from a larger nationwide magazine. I was also thinking of going to the show, Dropkick is the day after, deciding which one to go to. I know bad lighting is the name of the game, but this show really tried my patience, it was like a freakin' dungeon.

Well i've been rather dead to this thread lately due to being hilariously busy. The bands Four Year Strong (who I shot in December) and A Loss For Words (an amazing local band that is still unsigned for some very odd reason) did an acoustic set at my school (Fitchburg State). Since I loved both the bands I went along and decided to bring along my camera as well. I got some great shots of the lead singer of AL4W Matty. Lens: 85mm f/1.8 @ f/1.8 ISO 1600 Handheld
