A week or two ago I sent some of my images to SPIN to see if I had, from a technical standpoint, anything they would be interested in. Well, I got an email back today and they invited me to submit as much as I can to Soundcheck. I am so unbelievably happy about that.

I have another show at the House of Blues (Chicago) tonight, I loving love shoot at that venue. Here's hoping the security aren't a dick to me like they were the first time I shot there. After that I'll have my first hip hop show July 18 in some pub's basement, should be interesting!

Did they let you set up a couple flashes or did you place them regardless? Either way they look great. What's the deal with the guy in the background of this photo? This could looks amazing if you highlighted the background guy and reduced the brightness of him a bit, just for balance y'know. I'm not into rap music but the dude in't video has got skills.

A chain link mic stand? Really? Tincans posted:Did they let you set up a couple flashes or did you place them regardless? Either way they look great. There were no stage lights, it was a fully lit boring bar. So I asked the guys if I could put up some lights with no problem at all. I had never been to this bar before, and had a feeling the light would be lovely so I packed up some lights into the car. I used 2 sb600s, bare bulb, triggered with CLS (I love CLS). The guy in the background is Drew Skills, he's another rapper. He does seem a little out of place, but there's lots of white dudes rapping these days. dreggory posted:Wow, flute explosion.

I just finished catching up on this thread from May. I forgot how much great stuff comes out of it, everyone in here does such a good job. Also I think it's awesome to see more of you guys show up in magazines and stuff!  I shot the Montana Folk Festival last weekend, it was nice getting to shoot in mostly natural light, especially because I was shooting with my new Tamron 70-200/2.8 and I'm fairly new to shooting with telephoto at all. A lot of cool bands, I'm excited for next year already. Kotchenga Dance Company  Boukman Eksperyans  Boukman Eksperyans  Kermit Ruffins & The BBQ Swingers

I am the rankest amateur at concert photos, but I like taking them more than just about anything else you can point a camera at. Here are some I've been fond of lately.

I've been looking through a lot of old punk concert photos from the late 70s to the early 90s and it strikes me that almost every single one of them were taken with a flash which is kind of funny given how stuffy some concert photographers today get about using flash. I mean I know the technical reasons why they used to use flash all the time, I find it interesting how we've moved away from that particular look and how major artists are so against it now when their predecessors had it all the time.

Photography was also a lot more difficult and there were greater barriers to entry. Back then you'd have to pay a photographer who could probably do whatever the hell he wanted, these days you'll get 5 "photographers" who will pay the cover, shoot for free and give you all of their photos just for credit. Add to that the Digital vs. Film era; where a photog might only shoot a roll or two of film in the past, the Snap happy digital photogs may take 300-400 photos per set.

I think artistically the bar was a lot lower back then too. There were far fewer "epic" shots than there are nowadays, probably because back then all they had was a 50mm, a 28mm and maaaaybe a 90mm or 135mm so you could get those crazy perspective shots like you get with an ultra-wide. That plus manual focus slowing things down. It was more of a "this happened and here's proof of it" documentary kind of thing as opposed to more of an artistic venture. Not to mention that wireless flash was barely even a dream back then. Using full-on flash does turn it into more of the old "f8 and be there" Weegee kind of thing as I've found out from shooting medium format.

Also envious of Pulp; I wanted so bad to go to Splendour just for them, but the amount of clashes on the other bands I want to see mean that without a press pass, there's no way I'm paying $420 for it. At least I get to go and chill with Danananakroyd while touring with DZ in August  If you end up shooting Children Collide at the Sydney show on the 12th, let me know and I'll pass out beer and popcorn. Maybe not popcorn.

Avenged Sevenfold are the boredest looking band I've ever shot. Pyro, huge drum risers, playing in an stadium setting (which couldn't have had more than 400-600 people in GA, and about a quarter of the seats filled) and they just looked so bored. gently caress bands like them.

I've really only shot three bands the past two days. I'm hoping to shoot more tomorrow. Here's my fave from today.
