Amazing work, would be nice to see some more colour though.

I'm going to try and sound like a smart ass and point out that number 7 doesn't adhere to the rule of thirds :P.

Thanks again Cal . Yeah, I'm thinking about re-editing a few leaving in colour but the light was meh so they look pretty flat .

Haha, true, may crop it a bit .

No 5 and 9 have been added to some randomers Flickr album about Paris, I iz happy

[VoX]

Randoms from last night, we couldn't be bothered with any post editing and some are desperately in need of cropping, but thought they might give a chuckle nonetheless. (Pulled from FB hence the bad compression)

I'm loving the cyclist in the third one :P

It's like he's out of phase or something xD

[VoX]

Hehe thanks, intended to get him as the only stationary thing in the exposure but he moved on about 3/4 of the way through, still gives some pretty awesome ghostly effect .

Can haz new toy




It sat on camera, next to kit lens.





And the reason why f/1.8 is just win for depth of field;





Mainly bought for shooting a gig this weekend where I'd need the large aperture due to the low light, will post up shots from there when I've done the shoot

[VoX]

Gig went alright actually, what I've learnt;

- Autofocus, expect to work without/unsuccessfully with it unless there's a fill light or the performers don't mind the AF assist beam firing.
- Flash, needed so fking much.
- 50mm primes, great for when you're in a press pit or the band are moderate distance away, other than that expect some close up shots.
- ISO, I knew I'd be on ISO 1600 all night, yeah it's a bit noisy but not too bad, would have loved a 550D or 50D though so I can go up to 6400
- Be mindful of what you're wearing round your neck. Nearly went cameras first into the stage so had to quickly shield them from damage lol. Also decided I'd launch a glowstick, bad idea. Felt the cameras flail about violently, heart skipped a beat lol.
- 2 cameras are a necessity. Had an f/1.8 50mm on one and a 28-80mm on the other, last time I'd been to the venue they had a fill light so was banking on using the 50mm without a flash, they didn't this time, still made use of them though for different effects.


But yeah, the pics;

Trying to introduce more photoshop into my work.

If Starbucks offered that, I'm pretty sure they would sell out. Everything you've done so far looks incredible, although the singer in that band might wanna consider trimming his arms a little bit.
