Critique Welcomed Rehearsal shots

[David Jones]

I play electric bass and played with a scratch band at one of the Island's awards nights. I took along my Sony A35 and managed to grab a few shots in a number where I wasn't needed. All natural light and using the cheap Sony 50mm (75mm equivalent) f/1.8 prime - which was ideal for pulling in the subjects without needing to get too close.

I have been a bit overwhelmed with gigs, an incipient cold, test-driving a new Nikon 1 V1, trying out out DxO Optics Pro - so only basic processing on the above and I have not got around to adding borders. Sorry.

These are super David. Love the way you have exploited the stage lighting and kept them slightly warm. And just the right amount of movement on the drummer to. I really like the way you have captured the concentration of the guitarist (and the guy in the background). Nice set all round.

I wondered about the warmth but decided to leave it more or less as it came from the camera as I was pleased with the result.
