I am very pleased with how these came out. There will be loads more where these came from sometime soon.
Taken mostly with the f1.4 50mm at ISO between 800 and 1600 in RAW format. Quickly run through PS to crop where necessary and resize.












Now I'm curious how [livejournal.com profile] davefish's will turn out.

They're pretty good! Putting on the nasty-critical-hat:

I'd crop the first one in tighter on the singer (Simon?).
Second one suffers a little because Simon(?) isn't out of focus enough not to look like he was inteded to be in focus (if that makes sense?) and there's not enough of Daevid(?) to compensate.
Third one is good - I remember reading something once about the importance of getting in a "lot of guitar" - more like the last one might work slightly better.
Fourth is a great arrangement of bodies, but would be improved if you could see more of his face.
Fifth I'd consider cropping in closer again, to make the eyes/nose more central. You could argue "rule of thirds" but to my taste it doesn't work on shots like that.
The last one is well composed, but suffers from a dull expression.

Thanks for these comments, I appreciate them!

As I said, these were just quick grabs, so some more fiddling is definitely required.
I know what you mean about the second one. Simon is a bit overexposed, too.
I'm extremely happy with the third one, it's as it came out of the camera, just resized, without any cropping or processing.
In the fourth I was restricted by people bouncing all over the place so I'm happy I got that shot in at all because they usually stood too far apart.
Fifth: *nods*
I have a few similar shots to the sixth, there should be one with a better expression.

I tried at Whitby to get a decent shot of the two of Devilish Presley together and didn't get anywhere near as good a shot as you did :-)

I guess a large factor is luck of timing. You can't tell them what to do so you have to hope for the best.

I didn't realise I was overexposed. I'm so embarassed. Do you think anyone noticed?

On a (slightly more) serious note, the photos are brilliant. I'm not a photographer so my input is probably not that useful...and I'm quite drunk at the moment so I'm mostly concentrating on trying spelling in English, but they look great to me.

I love the frist one, you've got a great expression on Simon's face.

*nods* It was a nice lucky shot.
I've got a few more with some nice gestures. He was moving a little bit too much to get many clear shots, though.

Nice Piccies!
Would you mind if we (Romw Burns) downloaded them and hosted them on our band fotopic site?
If that's cool then email me a link to the rest of them and i'll sort it next week.
Cheers!

Thank you!
These are just preliminary ones, I should have edited the final ones by the end of the week and then you are more than welcome to have them.
I'll get in touch then.
