I will be posting momentarily

Men at work, part 2 (featuring nailz)

Circus Maximus performs at PPUSA X (See shooting notes)

12,800 ISO pushed to 25,600 ISO and in a few cases 51,200 ISO. Quite a technological feat by Nikon.

Hahaha! Aww, that makes me feel bad that the shots I tried to get of you doing your thing didn't turn out. I look like I'm going to fall over.

nailz · September 30th, 2009, 12:04 AM

It feels good to be processing Concert pics again. My portrait skills are just not up to par yet.

Digging into CAGE! YES. This is the 5th shot I took of the concert. I am convinced I am going to get 20-25 good shots of Cage if this is any indication.

Pagan's Mind from Progpower USA X

-A

nailz · October 3rd, 2009, 06:42 PM

I'm not a fan of Pagan's Mind by any stretch, but I do kinda wish I would've stayed around for Pictures of them, just for their faces. LOL.

On to business: Sean Peck and Michael Giordano of Cage. Working on them now. (Lesson learned, as a general aside, 1/100 does not cut it for Concert shots. I swapped between this and 1/125 on the night. While I like some of the motion 1/100 catches, >=1/125 freezes everything a lot better. )

Yup. I figured that out as time went on. Many of my shots were... well.. shot.. because I shot with too slow of a shutter speed. Too much motion and most of the pictures were blurry beyond belief.

But I did manage to get some good shots nonetheless. I'll see if I can get some posted on here.... soon... I promise!

Well, I never went below 1/100, so pictures like the Par Sundstom one I have with the hands blurred are about as bad as It got, still.. Hurry up with those pictures.

Allan: HAHAHAHHA on that one with Andy's expression.. <:O ... classic

artistXposure · October 4th, 2009, 01:38 AM

Great shots Nailz. I want to see more!

Re: shutter speeds: The rule of thumb is to select a shutter speed of at least the the lens’ focal length to avoid blurring due to camera shake. To keep things simple and in fast paced concert photography, I try to hold a shutter around 1/200 ( the reciprocal of my longest lens ) unless intentionally slower due to lighting conditions and/or movement effect. If you throw flash into the mix it largely doesn't matter as the flash will stop the action and it becomes a game of balancing ambient and flash ... but I on only rare occasion will use flash in concert photography.
