Two Man Acoustics

[Lyncca]

We went last night to watch some friends play in their acoustical band. This was my first time to attempt any night shots, much less a band.

Thanks for looking!

[Lyncca]

Thanks! They were thrilled with them, so that's what really counts!

ive been doing a lot of the same and its really tough!

number one looks great!

number two is a little dark to me. maybe thats my computer

im sorry, but i dont like this picture at all. if the microphone wasnt blocking his face, i think itd be alright, but i dont know, i just really dislike it.

the fourth one is my favorite. i love the coloring and the reflection, but i wish the head had been in focus rather than the neck.

i dont like the fifth one. sorry.

Thanks for the feedback Beth!

I have about 16 pics total from that night that have variation of the guys and where they are in comparison to the mic, so I think I covered most of what you were talking about in some of the others.

I'll keep in mind your comments for next time. One thing I found was that its hard to get a lot of variation with only two band members! LOL

i know what you mean with having limited people to work with. at least you have nice lighting. where i go, the lighting is terrible. i think you did a great job though. just out of curiosity, what lens are you shooting with?

My 55mm. It still kept complaining that the light was too low, but I think it did ok :mrgreen:
I kept the shutter speed around 1/60 - 1/90. Below that and I had had too many shots to hold it steady!
