Concert Photos C&C
Concert at a small club in Louisville from friday. Never had such a hard time getting a stop action shot before! I was dying to have a new 5DII so I could shoot at a usable 3200 or 6400. White balance was tough to play with too, I think I ended up going with White/Fluorescent. Featured are The Wedding, Decyfer Down and RED. Would love to know what you all think, thanks for taking the time to check these out!
All shot with a Canon XTi
50mm f/1.6 1/125s ISO 1600

Re: Concert Photos C&C
I really like all of those shotswith the exception of the second one...it just doesn't do anything for me.

Re: Concert Photos C&C
nice shots! try converting the 1st and 2nd ones to black and white. I do that sometimes when the stage light colors are overwhelming the photo.
gives the photo a whole different look.

Nice work Matt.
I'm having some trouble with the 3rd one. It seems multi-discombobulated.
The light panel on the right is very distracting. Maybe a 5x7 or 8x10 crop would work better there.
I love the monochromatic colors of the first two.
#4 looks like an episode of "Flare Gone Wild"but I sort of like the foggy effect. I'd turn the saturation up on that one a bit and let the colors control the form more than the luminosity. That's just me.

My first attempt with my new 7D & 70-200mm IS at a Live Show. My grand daughters Dance & Singing Theatre of Victoria, Australia. No flash & hand held. Approx 70m & 25% off axis of stage. Lots of fun. [H]

Re: Concert Photos C&C
Shots look good, especially when you consider the difficulty. ISO1600 to 3200 seem to be required, so you've done well to produce some seemingly low noise images. I like the last one due to the abstract nature and lighting. I don't think flare is a negative in this context since that's part of the production. The INSPIRE tattoo is a nice addition. A 5D II is really a handy tool if you think you can get ahold of one. I've been shooting a lot with that and the 70-200 f/2.8 and still am able to get some shots when you happen to catch a motionless moment.

Thanks for all the comments, I did try some of the other shots in black and white and they were very much improved so thank you much for that tip!
