My pals' band - Dewey Decimal and the System.

[UmmmHowsThat]

Hey guys,

I was recently blessed (haha) with shooting my friends' up and coming band, Dewey Decimal and the System (Check them out! (http://www.myspace.com/deweydecimalplaysmusic)) for their album artwork in their new CD.

I made a sh**ton of pictures and these are the eight that I deemed worthy for success. I really don't do any post-processing, except I removed a pole and a road construction trailer number 2. And I have the saturation bumped a bit in camera.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

-Bryan

Like their music!! Tell them to check out Ziggy Shock (http://www.myspace.com/seeourshow) that's my hubby's band.

I like your take on their image! Be interesting to see which one makes the cover

These have a lot of character and look like good candidates for CD artwork. On my monitor, the shadows look plugged in most of them. I think a little PP could improve that. If you use Photoshop, try the Shadows/Highlights command. :thumb

Thanks for the input! :)

What do you mean about shadows being plugged?

Cheers!

It means that detail is lacking in the darkest areas. This can either be the result of underexposing the shot or using a processing technique that sets the black point point too high.

Gotcha. Thanks!
