Glorious almost didn't make the cut because of the camera shake. I was hoping it was strong enough to carry its technical failings. (Besides, it has an S shaped curve.) It was taken during the last tune of the evening. Annie really let go- out of the chair, and dancing around the tiny stage, and off it into the first row of the audience. What a ride. Glorious described the music as well.

I actually like some of the ones with the motion blur in 'em. Puts a little zing into it even though it lacks the sharpness that I usually (for better or worse) push for. I think especially with the pretty bland overhead lighting you needed to do something to liven it up.

I was experimenting with the blur- and in 20-20 hindsight, I should have stayed at f8, and minimized camera shake. I started the night with manual focus lenses, and decided that I really need a KatzEye screen. The K100D is tough to manually focus in available darkness. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Blues GESO- Paul Rishell Annie Rains
Thanks- They are selling down loads of the music on their web page, and they have recorded several albums. A quick google search reveals all... It's a fine way to spend an evening, if they are playing near you. I was glad I went. Cheers Mike On Sep 30, 2009, at 6:38 AM, eckinator wrote: Totally. Now I just wish I could listen to them, too.

Very nice, I have a hard earned appreciation of how hard it is to get clean shots of vlues musicians. I spent all my time in two chairs, on each side of the stage. The room was so small that I would have been too obtrusive if I tried to move around. Sometimes you just have to live with mic stands... Are they black and white because the stage lighting was so horrible? The stage lighting was standard florescent tubes. I managed to get pretty fair skin tones, but the rest of the set was kind of ugly, so I just threw the color away. That and I cranked the ISO up. Rather than worry about noise, I just added some more sharpening, and all that noise turned into better looking grain.
