The drummer is AMAZING. Complete barbaric rage is an understatement when it comes to his bare hand solo.

The rest of the guys are fruity, borderline disturbing how feminine the lead singers mannerisms are. If you look past that and focus on the music it's great lol! Not so good when you're there to shoot them haha!

Sometimes there is too much yellow light so the good looking color shots seem to be rare. My camera no longer shoots on RAW to fix that, it only saves duplicate jpegs wtf lolol!

yeh i hear ya, i figured there was something up with the color that you did a BW conversion... dont get me wrong, they are still good, but the color ones have a little more sumpin' sumpin' about them

Thanks for the comments!

where was this?

Wild Bills in Duluth. I prefer more challenging darker venues but at least guaranteed a decent amount of good shots under $10,000's of lights there.

I'm trying to sell everything I can for a new body. All these were shot at ISO 1600 and I struggle to get them sharp because it's only about a 1/160th shutter. Typically shoot at f/2.8 and if I open the aperture any more the IQ goes to crap on the 50mm f/1.8. If I could shoot at ISO 2400 or so and raise it to 1/250-1/320th I could really get them sharp and hopefully without noise. What I would do for a 35mm f/1.4!

Doesn't help that Slippery When Wet is an extremely active band with none stop movement 100% of the time.

This was shot at f/2.2 and you can see how details bleed together on his face (don't know the technical term for it)...f/1.8 to f/2.2 really jacks the colors up too!
