Surprise Concert, no prep - Please let me know what you think!

[dvjproductions]

I guess some people (mainly me) should read up on local events in the places they vacation. I had no idea that the 'midnight madness' event included live music. I had my camera from earlier in the day, but I had nothing but the lens that was on the body to work with. I think these turned out pretty well, please feel free to comment on what I could do better. It is not an area of photography I intend to get into, but its fun to shoot when there are shots.








I am pretty sure this one (sax player) has a shadow on his neck, but it could be a bruise or something. If it is a shadow, it certainly not apparent where it is coming from.



Edit: Words, also fixed linking issue

The sax player shadow issue is really ticking me off. Anyone have any idea what it is?

Also, please let me know anything I could have done differently here with these shots keeping in mind the constraints.

Looking at the full-size image, it looks like it might be a portwine stain, but the image seems a little soft & noisy so I can't say for certain. Overall, nice set.

Yea, grainy for sure. T3 rebel isn't exactly the best body and its terrible at high ISO's I find. I am looking to upgrade asap.

How can it be grain ? Did you shoot it on film

I love the shot of the drummer - the lighting on the building behind him echoes the wooden rim of the kick beautifully - wish this was landscape maybe? Shot a little wider so's not to cut off parts of the kit (although that's probably the muso in me rather than the photographer!).

Sorry, noise...

Semantic nonsense, you all know what the hell I am talking about.

To me it looks like the shadow of a microphone off to camera right.
