    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





    b50mm f/2 1/125s ISO 800





    10mm f/3.5 1/160s ISO 1600





    50mm f/1.8 1/320s ISO 1600

    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]

    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!
