Emphatic (A buttload of images)

[JBArts]

Great clear photos! You captured fine moments of this band. In seeing these set, I would like to try "band concerts" photography. Can you teach me how to? lol =)

 

[subscuck]

Nice shots, Em. Glad to see you back (again. for now...).

No its just how your brain works. I was in psychology and one letter was taken out of every word but people still read it fluently.We are programmed to just see the parts of the words and our brains fill in the rest.

Yeah, I know... I did that in school too, haha.

 

[c.cloudwalker]

Yeah, very nice set.

Is the move still on? You are way ready to take on the bad boys.

Haha "for now"

I'll try harder, REALLY I will!

TO EVERYONE ELSE:

Thank you for your responses!

I know someone asked me a question and I promise I'll answer it, but right now I'm on my phone, in a parking lot of somewhere I don't want to be, apparently an hour and a half earlier than the person I'm supposed to be meeting... Never been more irritated.

When I get to a computer I'll revisit and answer your question

 

[c.cloudwalker]

Are you meeting a musician?

 

[PhotoTish]

Great photos - I really like the way he is looking directly at you in number 12. :thumbup:

H'OOOOOOOOKAY! I found my way back to a computer... here we go...

I LOVE these! I'm WAY new but I go to concerts alot!!! I can never get pictures this sharp with this kind of lighting what settings do you use?!?!?

When I *walk* into a place... my default setting is usually around ISO1600, 1/125th shutter speed, f/2.8 and that's on manual. From there I make small adjustments according to lighting and whether or not I'm using a flash (which I try not to do because personally, I like the look of the stage lights... *most* of the time.) Sometimes I have to jump up to ISO3200 which can get kind of scary if I don't nail the exposure because it's noisy to begin with. It's the kind of noise I can live with, but only if I get the exposure SPOT ON. If I DON'T... then it's a noise nightmare that eventually ends up in the trash after trying to convince my weeping self that it's all going to be okay.

If you're asking what my setting was for THESE particular photos specifically......... ::goes to look in Lightroom:: It looks like I flipped back and forth between ISO1600 and 3200... and my shutter speed ranged from 1/80 to 1/125... and most were at f/1.8 with a few at f/2.0

That was also with me mostly AFing the whole time... which is the first time I had done that since getting my camera back from Canon after they fixed a front focusing issue I was having. Before that I was totally Manual focusing all of my shows. The AF was slow enough (or maybe I'm just not used to it in band shooting) was slow enough that I might just stick with manual focusing shows until I can get an upgrade with a faster AF.

Best thing is just to try it though. I can talk at you all you want, but you have to try it. Band stuff is fast paced (if the band is active) and takes a lot of practice. *I'M* still practicing.

Good job; #s 3 & 12 strike me as especially good.

Hehe Buttload.




Great set

Thank you to you both! :sillysmi:

He is good, love him.

He who? Emphatic? Because there are several he's to be seen there... Or do you mean Spiderman?

Oh yeah awesome set!

Thank you!

Sure, for $100/hr! :lmao: Just kidding...

Yeah, very nice set.

Thank you. :sillysmi:

I'll message you privately about this. Also... I *haven't* forgotten that I still owe you a response about the last set... I'm just so swamped right now. I want to give you a response that consists of more than "Just everything. I hate it all." because if I messaged you about it right now that's what it would be.

Thank you!

A "buttload" carries with it connotations of a massive dump of crap....a big pile of excrement...

A "boatload" carries with it connotations of a large, valuable cargo...

Just noticed that Butter Jeweler has been banned. Darn! I guess I have to stop with the Bitter Butter jokes. :mrgreen:

And very nice work Erose!
