Title: Pop / Rock concert in the street
Post by: Frank Fremerey on September 17, 2019, 11:59:02

Very young people, the oldest of them is 21!
Great musicians, great performance, very bad light, monochrome LED ...
D850 & Neo-Noct, all set to manual
Quick edit only (pro bono & fun work for the kids)
enjoy!

Beautifully chosen moments and compositions.  The shallow DOF is, IMO, a bit distracting in some of the shots.

the bad monochrome light combined with high ISO is also difficult. I preferred lower ISO over more DOF, which was not always the best of decisions as you state correctly

I find myself irrationally preferring lower ISO as a holdover from the film days, when ISO 1600 or 3200 was visual death due to film grain noise.   Also, these 2 new shots are very well done.

I think you did very good with the conditions.
  I´m more attracted to the 9th picture in the first set. Backlight classic view front the side of the stage, emotion captured and ambiance.

  Shallow depth of field doesn´t bother me in the slightest. I like it actually.

1600 and 3200 is nothing for my setup, but monochrome LED light is difficult, bringing posterisation due to bad color response

Excellent images. Do you have a sound sample of (one of) their performances ?

yea, great kids. They have everything in social media: Facebook, Instagram, Youtube ... their name is Kuss'n'Groove

"Kuss" means "kiss" and it is the drummers surname:
