what sort of price did you have in mind

hi frogfish, thats ok. the problem with shooting show like this in smaller venues is that they never seem to have front lighting & as flash is not allowed shadows are unfortunately unavoidable in concert photography.

As for not seeing his face rappers always seem to sing upwards and only look down when they swing their whole body down. being down to 1/60 shutter speed it is just impossible to get a sharp shot when this happens.

i am working for a new agency now & they need the files to be huge so cropping just isn't allowed! If it was i certainly would have cropped though.

thanks for the comments.

Really difficult shoot this with lots of smoke, little light & runaround stage arm waving rapper

Drake is a rapper from canada, seems tickets for last nights show where trading for £150 each with a face value of just £22

i quite like the original page. I think the film border on 2 is a little cliche for my liking.

However at first glance you assume the site is about photography, so in that respect it works.

I think I prefer number 3

learn about metering, how to spot meter, reading your meter & how to adjust shutter & aperture setting.

if you want a large depth of field say for landscape then use a small aperture setting which is a high number f11 for example. for portraits you need a larger aperture setting f2.8 for example. but metering enables correct exposure in the first place hence learning to meter...

finally have fun

forensic photography of course cannot be manipulated. however i have worked in enough press rooms to see the amount of manipulation that goes on.

whilst you cannot change the subject for editorial, colour correction, exposure correction & cropping are all regularly seen done.

If you consider image manipulation cheating then what are your thoughts on some of photographies masters & their skills in the darkroom???

Brilliant I think you captured Anglesey perfectly, it is a right grey old place, sorry to anyone that lives there. Only went once & it rained all week

All professional photography is digitally edited. It is part of the image making process. All this baloney about getting it correct in camera, until digital sensors get absolutely as good as film then digital manipulation is a fact of life. The digital sensor never gets the image right. Exposure will always be a smidge off, colour balance will be wrong.

If you are happy with your images out of your camera then good for you, I however prefer my images to be the best I can get them & that always involves digital manipulation!!!!

great set with lots of colours, only negative is the marching band shot chopping of the marcher on the right. but a great set all the same.

nothing to add to postprocessing just maybe a little dodge & burn on the backgrounds to blur them a little.
