sigma prime supremacy aw yeah     Also, going on tour has led me to one conclusion; my city sucks when it comes to lighting. Everywhere I've been so far has just been amazing with lights; I even shot indoors at 5.6. 5.6.

Shot for a few acts this past Saturday night - local venue had a 12 hour concert with 16 musical acts on two stages that ran from 6 pm to 6 loving am. It was... an experience. No flash, IS6400. :O    More pics from that night if you're interested (so I don't blow up the page): http://blog.jyiphoto.com/2011/08/07/lucys-music-pit/

Well, I went full frame and got the 5d2, 35L and 580 EX II for club shotzzzz. The place I shot a couple times has hired me on for all of their thursday night shows. Comped bar tab and a decent rate. Been pretty fun so far.

When taking photos of people singing into microphones, try to avoid the microphone-eating shots by either moving to the side or waiting until the moments when they are moving their head away from the microphone.

Good tip, I only have a 50mm and it was kind of cramped in that venue to the sides  I'll keep it in mind, though! Thanks! You think I should invest in a 430EX flash?

ashgromnies posted:Good tip, I only have a 50mm and it was kind of cramped in that venue to the sides You should invest in Lightroom and try and fix the WB on those shots. Also, I guess this ties into the WB thing, when shooting a band, just like any other subject, you need to consider where you shoot them from. One of your core considerations should be, "what will the background look like in my shots?" In this case, many of the photos have the windows to the outside visible. Unfortunately for you, it looks like the indoor and outdoor lighting do not mix well. Hence, you need to tweak WB. Semi solution in this kind of a situation (assuming you MUST shoot them against the windows) is to strobe them and gel the strobe to match the outdoor temp and then tweak in post.

I have literally no idea what "gel the strobe" means or where to begin correcting white balance(or how to know when I have and how to see if it's off). What specifically are you looking at that shows my white balance is off? How would you fix it? I do have Photoshop.

ashgromnies posted:I have literally no idea what "gel the strobe" means or where to begin correcting white balance(or how to know when I have and how to see if it's off). White Balance = Getting the whites in the picture to look white. Once you see your photos balanced correctly you can just start to tell. You can fix it in Photoshop if you have camera RAW and you shot RAW. If you don't you might as well just make them black and white because it's going to be a longer process of frustration and lovely results. Geling the strobe = Adding a gel filter to a strobe light which changes the color of the light of the strobe. You do this to match the existing ambient light, so everything has the same white balance as opposed to two different ones. We do both of these things because different types of light give off different colors. Sometimes you can mix these colors and get interesting results. Sometimes it looks bad. Most people don't notice.

Speaking of microphone-eating photos, I was shooting a band yesterday and the singer had his lips stuck to the microphone the whole time like he was on a honeymoon with it. Ick.

As an unemployed lazy gently caress I've been shooting a lot of small indie/folk shows in Brooklyn this summer, but still feel like a lot of my stuff comes off as amateurish. I'm shooting a D7000 with a 35mm prime so I have a little light to work with at f1.8, but I feel like I lose a lot of detail to grain going to ISO800 and above. One huge problem I keep running into is that the color in the resulting images is way too oversaturated and I can't remove said color without the image looking fake and washed out. How do you guys control exposure so that your colors are manageable? And more importantly, what kind of things do you guys do to handle exposure with no flash and really contrasty lighting?

Work on your composition. Remember that portraiture rules of thumb apply to concert photos. Your photos could also use some cropping in post production. If you are complaining about noise at 800 on a D7000, I have zero sympathy for you since you are already shooting on one of the best low light APS-C cameras on the market. Look into a good noise reduction program.

So, I managed to get a photo pass for a festival last month, with a bunch of awesome bands like Monster Magnet and Kyuss Lives!. Had to pay for the ticket, but got pit access just for linking them to my blog.    and a lot more at : http://www.tankeboks.org/category/konsertfotografi/ all in norwegian, but you can probably understand the pictures just fine. Now, I just got full accreditation to another festival, and its no longer midnight sun season, so my tamron 70-300 on a d7000 probably won't do the job in the dark anymore. any suggestions for a cheapish zoom that'll work late at night ?

thevoiceofdog posted:Thanks a lot. Would you mind elaborating on the composition/portraiture aspect? And do you have any particular recommendations for noise reduction? The technology has reached a point that the current versions of just about any noise reduction software is decent. What to use depends on your workflow and what programs you use for editing. How are you processing your photos right now? As for composition, it's usually basic stuff like rule of thirds and what not. I generally try not to have the subject centered in the frame if they're looking sideways. You can see the difference between the first photo and the second photo. In the first photo the subject is centered and in the second the subject is on one side looking across the frame. There are similar differences between the fourth and third photos. The thing to remember is that at the end of the day you are still taking photos of people so when you're shooting individual photos of musicians, following the general guidelines of portrait photography will help you create stronger photos. Don't be discouraged by the "straight out of the camera" folks. There's nothing wrong with a little cropping and tweaking. You're shooting a moving subject beyond your control in difficult lighting beyond your control, so it's not like a studio situation where if something is askew, it's your fault.

How do you guys control exposure so that your colors are manageable? Shoot RAW, especially if you are having issues with reds getting jacked up. If you output to PNG and or compressed TIFF then those will handle the reds better then JPEG. My 2 cents.

KMFDM in Boston, I shot these on my Point and Shoot because I never got a reply from the venue about cameras being allowed so of course i show up and everyone and their mother has cameras popping off flash like crazy. I did shoot some 35mm as well hoping to get that developed soon. The lighting for KMFDM ended up being AWFUL, sometime during the second act their big LED screen which was giving off half the ambient light in the club just died and they couldn't get it fixed.

I shot KMFDM on Tuesday... unfortunately I'm now out of town for a wedding so I haven't had a chance to mess with the photos. I posted one straight out of the camera in the electro-industrial thread though: I got a pass through the local promoter. They were pretty strict here. The bouncers wanted my camera at the door until I said I had a pass waiting for me inside. They put a band around my wrist, and I only saw one or two larger cameras in there.

Someone told me once that WB doesn't really matter for concert photos, because the viewer knows there's going to be weird spotlights on the stage, and some venues ban flash. These are with a D7000 at ISO 800 in a tiny bar, the stage was so cramped I couldn't get any good angles at the drummer. The stage was lit only with red lights, with one random, super-hot yellow light on the singer's shoulder, and a blue one on the side of her face. There was another photographer there, blasting it with full-power flash, and his photos aren't that great.

red19fire posted:Someone told me once that WB doesn't really matter for concert photos, because the viewer knows there's going to be weird spotlights on the stage, and some venues ban flash. Well it still matters, you just have less of a reference point in the photo to think something is weird. Depending on what you shoot, you can tweak WB to change the look you are going for. I have started shooting with WB set to 7k in clubs. Everyone thinks I am crazy, but then the pictures come out and all the people look tan, so they are happy. red19fire posted:There was another photographer there, blasting it with full-power flash, and his photos aren't that great. Full power wont really work in this type of scenario, a common middle ground is to strobe at a very low power just to freeze them and then drag the shutter as needed to fill in the ambient colors.

So I got a chance to shoot Ke$ha yesterday. It was probably the worst concert shooting experience of my life. You sign away the rights to your images, then we were escorted to the soundboard at the back of the arena to shoot for 3 songs. 2 of which the only light on stage was Kesha's stupid light-up glasses. If an artist is going to force photogs to hand over all the images, what the gently caress is the point in sand-bagging them from getting decent shots? That seems completely loving backwards and really only serves to waste people's time. On a more pleasant note, I got to do a promo shoot with a really amazing Violin player. She's toured with Mary J Blige, Rod Stewart and The Tran Siberian Orchestra. She also has perfect pitch (she played a song that was on a radio outside of the place where we shot one of these shots). And she's currently playing with DJs doing that sort of "live music meets electronic music" thing that seems to be gaining in popularity. Also she's a brain surgeon.
