Robot band and their human slave
« on: December 19, 2016, 05:04:01 »
Captured! By Robots is a one man, two robot band.  The human made the two robots himself and they play very well!  All with Nikkor 105mm f/1.8 Ai-s at f/8.

Next step up the evolutionary ladder, I surmise.

Excellent documentation.

In 10 years we have computers listening to computers. No human participation required.

Sheer "metal" guys!  :D  The atmosphere is very well captured.  Thanks for sharing!

More like computers photographing computers. No human participation required.

...and they post their pictures here and computers appreciate them.  No human NG members.   :o :o :o

Tristin this is very cool. I want to point out also the play you made with the cymbals and the robots body.

  Really curious about how "they" sound

Thanks for the compliments.

I would characterize CBR as a grindcore band of sorts with long songs and a light spirit.  Definitely entertainment centered as opposed to the serious-minded intense exposition of human failure that typically embodies grind.

Wow, they are serious!

Apparently the robot bands started to eat human musical scene away.

Here's a battle of the Japanese and the German robot bands.  They are admirably nerdy!

By the way, the now-well-known star effect of Ais 105/1.8 shines on the blue eyes of the robots.

Akira, thanks for the link.  DIY robot bands are fascinating to me!

Yeah, the 105/1.8's stars is why I shot these at f/8 instead of my typical f/1.8-4 for concert shots.  I knew it would look rad on the robot eyes!
