Hi,

Posted on a 'like em; or lump em' basis, however I welcome any views + comments.
Thanks for viewing.

Re: Singers

Nice ones Millie,
Agree with you on No 2, better in B&W. What lens?

[Colin]

Re: Singers

I agree No2 for me too.

[Canon-Fodder!]

Re: Singers

#2 for me too; although I think it works in both colour & B&W...

Re: Singers

I think that less flash would add mood to the pictures - to me they are a bit newspaper-ish, especially #1 and #2 which could have come from the 60's

Re: Singers

I'd have to pick the b&w version on 2/3 as well, I also prefer it to #1 which, to my untrained eye is just a little too busy. I'd have been happy to have taken any of them though!

Re: Singers

Bout time you posted something good, you lazy baggage!

Love No 2, with No 3 only marginally behind.

Re: Singers

Wow 6 comments I think that’s a record for me – thanks very much. !

This was an evening of Drum ‘n’ Bass, to be honest I didn’t know what D’n’B was, not my cup of tea, must be getting old, the crowd seemed to love it. Left there with my ears ringing!

They all seemed hold the mic almost touching their bottom lip. Hard to get anything other than ‘mic in the face’ pictures.
1 was taken in a darker area than 2 more ‘street’.

@Hugbie What lens? - I used my walkabout zoom lens 24-70
@Nigel - Busy ? yes my excuse is the place was packed.
@ Brian – too much flash – you could be right.
@ Canon-Fodder - thanks for your comments
@ Colin Thanks
@ Colin C…… Thanks Colin, LOL I’m prolific at the moment, snapping '8 days a week', mostly boring stuff.

Re: Singers

Millie,
#1 I like the effect of the different coloured lights and the way the singer's arm is highlighted by the yellow light
#2 I have a question with this one as to whether or not it is an advertisement for Pioneer. Unfortunately the brightness of the name draws my eyes away from the focal point of the singer.
To get your gear into what I am assuming is a crowded place and then get these two shots must have been hard work.
I like them both with #1 my favourite. #2 shows the intensity that the singer is putting into the song/rap/ (or whatever it is called these days - being an "old fogey" I do not know) my hesitation with #2 is just the manufacturers name on the speaker box.

Thanks for your comments David, I was thinking about the pioneer myself; good call ! I could have blurred it, but I had over a 100 pictures to prepare so I didn't do any advanced editing.

WOW you must have worked your ******* off that night.... do you just shoot the artists or the people in the crowd as well????

Re: Singers

I was onstage, behind a barrier in front of the stage, and walkabout too.

Try cropping at the edge of the speaker - might give the picture a better balance

No - I like it how it is, but thanks for your interest :-)
