heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA
Exhausted, spent the past two days at ACL. Actually got to shoot with a photo pass today, so I got in the pit for a lot of shit. Sneaking the camera in again tomorrow...

Haven't had any time to do any toning. This is all out of camera.

Sorry, Austin City Limits Music Festival. It's like Coachella, but in Austin, and a lot older and more established.

Manu Chao. The man. The chao. This may be one of the few creative frames I made during a concert.

>>264406
I'm not aware of who that is...

Exactly. She's dancing, btw. Interpretive dance. To David Byrne's rockin'. It was amazing. Singing Once in a Lifetime with David Byrne and tens of thousands of fans was, well... a once in a lifetime opportunity.

band photos/concert photos never do anything for me

unrelated to the photos, did you see octopus project perform?
I wanted to see them when they stopped by in Houston but I didn't get a chance.
Just curious.

Motherfucker... I keep on flailing to post for some reason. My internet fucking blows.

Anyways, just came across this one with some CRAZY flare. ROYAL RAINBOW

Fucking hell, that is sharp as fuck.
What the shit did you do to make it so sharp?

>>264404
Meh.

>>264408
I like the concept, but not the execution.

>>264415
Not bad.

Are they at ACL this year? Eh, I've seen them a lot recently. They're always solid, but never outstanding.

I think that was shot at f/8. Thank you for bright lights, David Byrne.

Had some fun with the crowd stuff too.

Here's a 100% crop of that by the way. It's ludicrously sharp. It's the 180mm f/2.8 AIS, the first one with ED glass. I ended up using it for the majority of my tight shots.

nikon 180mm f/2.8 AIS on a canon 5d?
>> Anonymous
>>264509

I too was intrigued by this combination, did some reading up and it looks like a fucking minta of a lens. Do you MF with it stopped down heavyweather or focus then stop?
>> heavyweather !4AIf7oXcbA

>>264512
Both, depends on how dark the VF was. I can focus pretty well until about f/11, when things just get too dark to see adequately unless you're in the bright sun.

Check out what I saw. Brix were shat.

Plain-looking girl compensating for her looks by adopting nerd-styling and using mommy & daddy's money to buy an expensive camera. Delightful!

>>264403
Though they're both good taken separately, background and foreground/midground compositions jar. I'd either burn or clone out the background somehow, though if this is for the paper I know you'd be heavily restricted in what you could do there.

>>264404
Okay, but cliched, which is the hardest thing not to be with concert pictures. The best way I've found around it is to to just to have really strong form- either just plain rigorous, thorough composition, or something experimental or both. Have you seen Koudelka's early work shooting theater? They're really abstract for photographs, almost like modernist paintings in silver halide. Not saying to go that route, but (probably also partially out of necessity with the emulsions and light he was working with) he went way off from normal photographs to make people on a stage look interesting.

>>264408

Now this is what I'm talking about, just plain awesome. To nitpick, it'd be better if there was just a little more space to the side of him, though not at the expense of the other side.

>>264415
More concert meh.

>>264463
More meh, dig the flare.

>>264473

There's nothing you did wrong here, but the blur on Beck is just the wrong amount (not "too much" or "too little", just off) for this would've-been-awesome frame to come together, at least for me.

>>264479
Simple but really effective. More crowd shots, please.

What FL was this shot at? It's hard to tell with the background all black.

>>264493
Good attempt but it doesn't come together compositionally.

>>264496
This is the best one, and I have nothing else useful to say about it except "woah."

>>264663
Meh, wake me up when it's a M.
