JohnnyC posted:bands can easily find someone who's willing to do it for less and who has a better attitude towards the work. You aren't the only person out there with a camera! Yeah, that's why I download music. If the artists complain, then they're not the only people out there with guitars!

JohnnyC posted:I'm completely in favour of downloading music so I don't get your meaning? So you'll come do a free concert for me and 500 of my friends if I buy you lunch, a beer, and some strings? And give me an album if I cover the cost of burning and labeling the CD?

JohnnyC posted:I can't beat that kind of exposure and if you want the record that badly you can have it. The "getting exposure" argument is analogous to the "do it for your portfolio" argument, which is a great way to get known as "that guy who takes free pictures". All the exposure in the world won't do you any good if you don't value your own work enough to charge a sufficient amount for it. If all you are is a guy with a camera (or a guy with a guitar), then your work isn't worth anything. If you're a skilled professional, then you should be charging what skilled professionals charge in order to make a living.

I went to a concert the other day (to watch, not to shoot), and was a little perplexed watching the photographers there. For some reason, they had omnibounces on their flashes, but pointed straight up, in bounce position -- and they didn't adjust for portrait orientation. The ceiling was ungodly high and black... why were they doing this? I mean, I know having an omnibounce technically increases the size of the light source by like .000000001%, but it's not like it's any different than direct flash if there's nothing to bounce off of. What were they trying to do?

Shot a concert the other night. It was O.A.R., with a band called Elmwood opening for them. Rules were that we were only allowed to shoot the first 3 songs of the set, and no flash was allowed. Honestly, I thought Elmwood was more expressive and energetic, but then again, I only saw the first three of O.A.R.'s set. I had a lot of fun, though. I shot with a D300 and 17-35 2.8 + 80-200 2.8. I wasn't really sure how to process, so I mostly just did exposure, fill light, and contrast. Elmwood   O.A.R.  edit: cut it to 3 photos; here's the link to the sets on Flickr: Elmwood: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickkneer/sets/72157622613203157/ O.A.R.: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickkneer/sets/72157622737467144/ dakana fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Nov 6, 2009 |

pwn posted:"We" = HPL and you. spritely posted:Love the first two. And I believe the saxophonist owes you a BJ. rockcity posted:I believe we agreed to limiting posts to 3 photos. Not bad though. Whoops. Sorry about that. I read the first post and didn't see anything about a courtesy limit. I went ahead and edited the post, cutting it to three and then just linking to the sets for the rest. Thanks for the compliments! I hear you about cutting off limbs. I kicked myself as I got halfway to the venue and then realized that I left the battery for my Rebel XT in the charger. With how good the light was, I could have used it and the 50 1.8 at ISO 800 or 400, but without a battery I had to stick to the D300 and 17-35 + 80-200, so I had nothing between 35 and 80 and had pretty limited mobility. I was really happy with finally getting a good shot of the sax player. He was phenomenal, but was constantly in the shadows. I don't know if he wasn't hitting his light, or if his light just didn't exist, but he kept getting this great background light and then just lovely colored light in the face. Then he turned to the side and I fired off frames as fast as I could. I really liked the show, and would love to get into shooting more.

Put in for media credentials for a July concert in Toledo with Jack's Mannequin. The venue is... not very nice... but we'll see what happens.
