Went to see a pearl Jam [one of my all time fav bands] cover band in January. they were very good, which surprised me as I don’t usually like cover bands, let along one doing my favourite band. I was expecting to rip the piss out of them all night.
No flash used on any shots, first time I’ve taken ‘peoper’ gig shots. When I went to see the real PJ i only had a tiny point and shoot and was miles from the stage. Was up front for this one.
Some obvious PP on this one – Just had to spot-heal a few stray lights and bit in the background, upped the blacks, boosted the lights and grey-scaled.
Thought about cropping out the guy’s face bottom right, but left it in, looks like he’s totally chilling to the music … or just very drunk
That is some point and shoot you have most people I am sure would be happy with these with their DSLR. really like the first one were up giving backing vocals for him :wink: .
They did come out pretty good for the wee little compact zoom camera. I found it strange that there was people there with dslrs and big lenses using flash, and running right up to get in the guy’s face to get close ups. I never moved from our table, and never used flash, didn’t get in anyone’s way. I’m sure I’d have gotten even better with the dslr.
