Great concert - best I've seen for a long time - spent the whole evening on my feet - FAB. Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilyum Posted July 9, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 9, 2006 Nice shots, Charlie. Yes, we all do age. I'm taking out all the mirrors at my house tomorrow! Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 10, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 10, 2006 CC - You've managed to capture a touch of his intelligence and a touch of his sense of humor. Very nice. The Broadway show of his music is superb it you appreciate dance. Stuart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomparis Posted July 10, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 10, 2006 The first picture is very nice. But the quality good be improved by lowering brightness and increasing contrast a bit. It would hide the disturbing noise. Thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks everyone for your comments. I'll learn to tweak things more in photoshop with time. Sadly that may take some time. Work as a surgeon gives me little time at home, so what time I get is spent with my family and a nice glass of wine. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted July 10, 2006 Share #7 Posted July 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm going to a Lyle Lovett concert in October and would like to do the same thing. Can I ask, did you use flash or is that from available light? LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted July 10, 2006 Louis, all my shots are available light. concert security do not like flash at all - don't even pack it. whilst I still prefer to shoot with my M6 and 75 lux for available light, that just doesn't work when you're a mere paying mortal as you're too far from the stage. mine were shot with R9 DMR at ASA 400 -2EV with the 80-200 ROM wide open at f4 at 1/125th sec. when I get better at RAW converters and photoshop, I'll improve my final image (bit like when you've been hand printing mono for a while). just be discrete and enjoy the gig Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomparis Posted July 10, 2006 Share #9 Posted July 10, 2006 Charlie, one thing I do not understand is: if you can shoot at ISO 400 with -2EV, why can't you shoot at ISO 200 without correction? Would'nt there be less noise? I'm not familiar at all with R9 and all the automatics (I use only M). Sorry if this question is stupid... There's probably something I don't understand here.

topoxforddoc Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted July 10, 2006 Thomas, 400 -2EV is the same as 1600 ASA. The noise on the DMR sensor is more prominent above ASA 400. at least that's what I picked up from others on the forum. I only take my camera out for fun. Fortunately I don't have to make a living out of it. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
