C&C Low light concert portrait

[Alex_Holland]

Hey all. I usually kinda stick to the film photography section of the site, but after a concert Thursday I had some photos to share. Here's on of my favorites of the night. Enjoy.

A portrait of my concert band's maestro. I used my:

450D body
70-200 f/2.8 IS

I think ISO was either 400 or 800.

Just comments are cool too.

I like it. Its underexposed, but i still like it.

Thanks. Yeah, his face is a bit dark, but I didn't think it was too bad. It was kinda hard for me to jump back to digital for this night. I've been shooting 6x6 for the past month and so I was kinda rusty on the DSLR this night haha.

 

[MWG]

I understand.

I too like it even though it's on the dark side; you can still see the angles of his face and I like the composition. Underexposed can still work, like here!

 

[Alex_Holland]

Yeah He was moving fast and I was shooting at

f2.8
1/90th
400 ISO I believe

The stage was lit as a stage usually is; uniformly in this case because a full band is on it.

Oh yeah, and without a tripod!
