AtomicManiac posted:I think the best way to tackle a band that doesn't have a clue is to listen to their music and present the image they're trying to project. Failing that, look at their influences and see what those bands did for photo shoots and try and make something similar. Yeah, but they are a "screamo" band and its like the same poo poo for every band in that genre. We ended up doing some really basic stuff, I will post them once I have a chance to even upload them to my computer. For anyone that is interested, this is their purevolume site: http://www.purevolume.com/isawaghost

Ric posted:I was reluctant to go as high as 800! It's the highest ISO at which I've ever got usable results. I have NoiseNinja but I find it flattens features too much; maybe I'm not familiar enough with it. It's a judgment call. At shows where it's so dark that f/1.2 is still getting you basically nothing, you're going to have to bump the ISO up. But I wholeheartedly disagree with the sentiment that you should never shoot on 800. I like to use 800 as a baseline and adjust from there. I almost never shoot at 1600 because the grain is so bad that it becomes distracting, and when you have to process that much, you're going to lose something from the photo (that flatness that you're taking about). Then again, you could say the same thing about severely underexposed photos.

What camera are you shooting on that 800 or 1600 ISO is a bad thing? Especially at f/1.2? I generally shoot 4000ISO at f/4 on a full frame camera, and my results are great for high quality high dpi 12x18" prints.

Ric posted:D200 hurf blurf canon rools  Seriously though, I've had a friend come along to a few gigs with his D300 and it doesn't seem to do well either. F5 with 1600 speed black and white film with a 60mm 2.8 works wonders though. Seriously though, invest in a D700/the new D700 model released in August. Full frame makes it a lot easier/bearable to hit the high ISOs.

So, what's the protocol when a band hires you to shoot them at a huge one day festival, and due to some schedule fuckery on the organizers part, they're supposed to go on WHEN THE DOORS OPEN. That's right. Doors open at one end of the park at 6pm, and the band starts singing at 6pm. We literally ran across the park to the outdoor stage, through the other venues (which had air conditioners, and t-shirt sales, and water/food vendors, and the 21+ wrist band tent). We get there, and the band is only on for 30 minutes. Then you see the lead singer. And this is what he looks like:  Notice something which might reflect poorly on the band?

It's all their fault, if they had their poo poo together this wouldn't have happened...blah blah blah...you get the drift.

Towards the VERY end of the set, some people starting wandering over, but no joke, there were at most 20 people there at any point during the set. During their tear down, aka when only some house music was playing, a few hundred people came up and were getting ready for the next band. I've seen these guys play draw several hundred people before.

I can even get away with 1200 sometimes, but 1600 or 3200 produces grain that's distracting. Especially in wide aperture shots since the grain is more pronounced in the bokeh. I'd love to upgrade to a fancy full frame camera, but I can't afford a $2500 camera body.

Especially in wide aperture shots since the grain is more pronounced in the bokeh. Work on your post-processing. I can take acceptable shots at 3200 with my 40D thanks to DxO Optics' noise reduction whereas without it 1600 was the limit. There's a really good concert photographer around here that uses two 30Ds and he shoots at 1600 all the time. This here was shot on a 40D at 3200, f/2.8, 1/13 with my 80-200, no IS:  This is from the same show, 40D at 3200, f/1.4, 1/30 with the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. They were dancing around on the floor in a circle. It was nowhere near as bright as the photo makes it look:  Can you see noise? Yes, but it's not enough to interfere with the photo.

You might be able to do something similar with some other software you have. It won't process the image though for some reason so I can't show you the output, but it looks much better Tongsy fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jun 25, 2010 |

^^ Nice shots. May have asked this before, but I have a battery grip on my 400D. I have 3 batteries in total. Two are lower rated than the other one (720 mAh vs 530 mAh) for the other two. What is better in terms of batteries to put in the grip. a 720 and a 530, or two 530s and why (I can handle a semi-technical explanation of the theory behind the power drain). I need to know by tonight as I am shooting Ocean Colour Scene (remember them? it's the mid 90s again!)

I don't think it matters. I find the batteries get drained unequally anyway. One battery always takes longer to charge than the other.

A lot of time when the say they are dead, I swap them around in the grip and magically they get power.

I'll add that it doesn't matter. I have the same set-up and I just rotate the batteries, I only charge them when the battery dies, then I add the fresh one and finish the shoot and charge all of them then. I think I charge them every 3-5 times shooting, so I wouldn't even worry about, you can get 2-4k shots easily.

The editor of my local paper hasn't gotten back to me about Warped Tour coverage yet after I sent her an e-mail about clarification. She said I could start out with a photo and a short writeup on the website but never replied when I asked about whether it would be for Warped or a previous show I shot. If I don't hear back from her by the end of today I'll send her a followup e-mail.

This, this is amazing. There's a big local DJ scene here in Dallas at a group of about 4-5 bars. The same 4-5 DJs play at various ones each month, having "monthlies" that happen at various places. Sometimes they team up with each other. All in all a good scene. There was a couple of party photographers who'd be at every single one of these, usually getting their names on the fliers/posters etc. One of them moved to NYC to be a receptionist at a hair salon, and the other is moving and got involved in some high-school-esque drama and got banned from a few bars. I've been doing a little bit of it for about $100/2 hours + drinks. I don't really do much party photography, but it's a good way to make some scratch once or twice a month. Anyways, the 2 photogs leaving opened up some spots. So I get contacted by one of the promoters to take pictures for one of their weekly events, a place I frequent a lot and I'm in good with the bartenders and bouncers. They just want light trails. They're like "well, we usually pay $30 but you haven't worked with us before, so we're offering $20 for the night." That's like $6/hr. Uhhhh. I can't believe the other guys were doing this AS A JOB.
