Thank you very much ( I added you aswell)

To be honest I shot a couple of hundred shots that night, just kept clicking away and managed to get about 15-20 or so i was happy with.

Thats my other bit of advice…take a lot of photos of each set up / angle you really like. the amount of times i would have a nice shot but the drummer looked awkward etc.. so if i had taken about 4-6 shots i would have a much better chance of hitting a good one.

Music Photography is so much fun but is always a constant battle against getting enough light. I’ve only shot a handful of gigs where I was allowed to use a flash but you get used to predicting the contitions and i bet if you shoot the same venue and use the great advice from this thread you’ll be flying!

Just for an example I shot the photos below in the Academy in Dublin which i figured would be great for shooting….nope! :mrgreen:

It pushed my iso right up to almost its limit

99% of the photos were taken at isos between 1600-3200 f2.8 and shutter between 100-200.

Aimee Round 2 :

I tried my hand at some studio shooting, I found it quite a big change and difficult to get results I was happy with.

Any comments would be really appriciated as i’m hopeing to go back into the studio again

thanks b318isp, i reckon i had a bit of new toy syndrome. just got some remote triggers for the flash so i was trying to take advantage of it and get rid of that on camera flash look.

johnnymc aimee is actually the models name I’m dan :)

i agree with you on the uncomfortable side of things. I had some better poses but i’m trying to be very hard on my self sharpness wise and this was the best.

if have another pose that is sharp but i think its a bit too posed.

thanks for the feedback!

would you have any suggestions for a more even light ?

I probably should have moved the flash closer and possibly higher ?
