Concert Peextures
Apr. 12th, 2010 03:24 pmReally unhappy with these on the whole, and doubt there are more than two or three printable images out of the batch, but I promised I'd share, so here are the few highlights. Somehow I managed to turn image stabilization off- I can't handhold exposures past about 1/60 sec at 300mm without it (and that only with a few tricks), but with it can sometimes get down to 1/20th. Also managed to drop the customized white balance- the stage lighting ran around 2600 K for most of Faith and the Muse, and haven't colour corrected the batch to adjust that. After all, it was a concert, and gelled lighting is nothing new for a rock show. So be it. I may go back and tweak some of them, but at this point, I've thrown away probably a dozen images for each one I kept, and may not bother. If you want to chance printing any, feel free to grab the full-sized images and have at it. They'll be watermarked in a bottom corner, but the watermark is under 170x60 pixels, so should be nearly unnoticeable in a 3872x2592 pixel image.
The opener was Soriah, who was extremely interesting- combining Tuvan throat-singing with what looked and felt like shamanic practice. Very stark white lighting and an almost non-existant crowd at this point made for interesting pictures.( Cut due to images. Worksafe, just may take up a bit of your page. )
These are probably almost all printable at at least smaller sizes. The uploaded batch are here.
I think I switched the image stabilizer off accidentally after this set, because none of the pictures from Legion Within were clear enough to bother with uploading. As a result, we'll jump right to the headliners.( Again, sparing you screen-scroll if you don't want to look at the pictures. )
That whole, inadequate series can be found here.
As seems to be their standard operating procedure, Monica and William came out after the show to talk with those in attendance who had waited, and were as gracious as ever.
