I'm trying to get back into this, after a bit of a rough patch I'm going out to more local shows. So many talented friends. I wish I'd never sold my 24-70mm f/4; I only bring my two primes to shows and switching between them so often is tough and anxiety-inducing. I also need to work more on a style before I start pushing for more paid gigs - I don't think my photos are bad per se, but they are bland and unoriginal.

^ Wow that's remarkable. What are you shooting on? The way you correct out red light is very impressive, I was always under the impression that heavy red lights in venues looked ugly and were generally unsalvageable which is why a lot of my shots are in B&W. I'll take a closer look at your settings when I'm in front of a larger screen. Qtotonibudinibudet posted:you would shoot (what appear to be) house shows at f/4? i know sensors are much better nowadays but drat. granted i shot half of my last show at f/8 (because lol manual focus 110mm) but that was with pro lighting Yeah, I mean I rarely go higher than f/2.4 in dark venues like that unless I have on my flash, which is a whole other level of anxiety about blinding people. Switching primes is easy, but yeah I always worry that some speck of dust or sweat or booze is going to fly into my sensor right when it's exposed. Can you recommend a tiny little front pack I can fit one or two lenses in? I could wear my Peak Design pack but it's enormous. (Also, 'peak design' my rear end, I'm not hard on my gear but that bag is falling apart; the shoulder strap routinely comes undone causing it to almost fall) Thanks for the kind words y'all, we're our own worst critics for sure but it's good to hear my work isn't as bland as I thought. I'm still chasing some more semblance of a 'style'. When I used to shoot this queer dance party at a local bar, I'd desaturate the outdoor shots of friends smoking and pull some specific colours from them to really contrast the high vibrancy indoors.

edit: Bottom Liner with the quickdraw. I was responding to a post above yours. That little pack looks nice. I've also been thinking about getting some of Hazard4's MOLLE lens pouches and wearing those on a belt. I'm a sucker for tacticlol poo poo. Oh thanks, I was thinking of something right small though. Realistically it only has to hold two, maybe three lenses - unless I come into some crazy money and can afford some of the new Z low-aperture zooms, realistically I only see myself carrying my 50mm and 20mm primes to shows, maybe also the fisheye which is really small.
