Metal Gigs in London with an old PnS

[sheewai]

After this, there will be no more forcing of blurry/noisy pixels down anyone's iris/retina.. hehehehhe..

Noooo:nono: look at it the blurr & sharp focus thats what happening - compare it to other pics - colour or settings can be better but hey! its original, its there & then, the ppl, the band. you dont get to see the kind of close up action here bro - do it with your new dslr you gonna love it;p

look at your pics you notice that when the band is capture togather with the fans shows great expression but capture the band solo its seems flat more work is required yeah? but again not all the time you get this kind of free expression so close to the band - right time right moment;p

oh yeah! dont forget you can PP your pics like playing with the colours or try out B&W - its fun you never know what comes out or fit the moment

RockStar=EddieSung

Hi sheewai!!

I took a closer look at the pics and indeed they were like you mentioned..
Truely, i was not conscious of the expression, more on the action actually!! Hehehhhe..
Definitely that's something i really, really have to look into next time around..
Thanks for the tip!!

Ohhh.. been capturing b&w alot with the D80..
I'll post a few pics of a local gig i was at last Sat..
Looking forward to your honest comments and critique..

And thanks for the link to the article on Eddie Sung too!!

I felt totally exhausted after going through your images ....... It was almost as if I was there myself getting body slammed at each location

Great stuff..... scr** the color shifts and off-wb's.... the energy emitting from the images are great!

Would you try the images in BW and share with us how it turns out

Very curious

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind comments!!
I'm floating now!! Hahaahhhahhaa..

I believe its more of the vibe of the band+audience+venue that really made it happen..
I'm just lucky to be there to capture them!! (Trying to be modest here.. hehehehhe!!)
Anw, i guess its always the audience that make a good show/gig..

To prove the point, here are clips from some of the gigs.
Same thing, they're captured by my modest but great Sony DSC-T7 camera.
I believe you can really feel the vibe+energy here!!

Enjoy them!! :thumbsup:

Hahahaahahhha!! Stagehand is good too!!
I was a stagehand for the Smashing Pumpkins' gig way back in '96 at World Trade Center..
And i got to meet Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha and D'Arcy after the gig and got autographs on my CD.
Billy Corgan was missing though..

Not everyone get the perks.. right??

they're still crazy, though i'd love to see "more" from them..
been a fan since their "Truth and Soul" CD..
but they're left only 2 orginal members now..

I am a death/heavy metal fan myself. Kreator and Slayer are my favourites. Nice pics. They look hot, steamy and bring out the raw energy of rip roaring guitars and screaming vocals.
