Fantastic pictures - as usual.

Wow - fantastic. First is one of the best pics of Ed I've seen.

I was ~very very happy~ with the ones of Ed from this gig - esp that one.

The second one makes me smile with the focus on the "sexy" :-)

Nice work, the fill flash is subtle but it makes a big difference.

Thanks - I was very happy with getting a bit more speed/colour without bleaching.

Love the pictures, but would appreciate cut-tags as standard (office viewing!) - unless there's a reason why not?

[kneeshooter]

Cut tags shuffled around. The reason why not is because of the peverse satisfaction I get from knowing people are seeing my photos :-)

Hi,
my band RazorBladeKisses have got a gig in Madame Jo JO's on 29th of december. Just wondering how do you select the gigs you go to for taking pictures and is it possible you could attend the RBK one for taking the live pics.

Thanks

Choosing gigs? The short answer is if I like the band, am in the area, and/or have an arrangement with them/press to do so.

Drop me an email (either to my LJ address, or via my website - see LJ profile) and we can talk more.

WOW! Those photos of Syaranosui are fantastic. I'm always impressed when people get great photos in near dark venues. As i know from my efforts taking pictures of Goteki (http://www12.redstation.co.uk/omni916254/michael/goteki/). Think they would have been a lot better (or even slighty decent) if i didn't leave the decent speed light at home, heh. What setup did you for the Syaranosui photos as it would be interesting to know :]

[kneeshooter]

Thanks :-)

I was using Canon EOS10D, ISO 800 at -1 or -2EC, Speedlite 550 and a choice of 20mm 1.8; 50mm 1.4; 85mm 1.8 and 100mm 2.8 lenses.

(Plus a big bag...)

How about yourself? What did you use for those Goteki pics.

[mikki-g.livejournal.com]

Yeah, figured you had some nice glass. Was using a Nikon d100, no speed light (well the built in one for a few shots which completly killed any atmosphere), and the standard 75mm lens. Only goes up to f3.5 so i have to expose for too long to get enough light in the frame. hense most of the shots are blurred. forgot to check ISO, but the camera was auto selecting 1600 it tells me, heh.

I used to hate flash, but now I know I can control it and turn it down then I'm more sympathetic.

The key I've found for gig photography is fast glass, fast glass and fast glass. Surprising eh!
