Jazz Session

My first attempt at concert photo's. Have to practice some more I think...
All shot with 1600 ISO. I think I'll try a little less next time.

All these are shot from the balcony. That's a coincidence because I took more but I find these 3 the best of today.

2 different drummers, huh? I like the 3rd one, the 1st two don't do much for me. I think the overhead perspective doesn't work as well for those? Maybe the 3rd works better (for me) because he is looking upward. I always like to see the faces of the musicians because of the emotion they put into the song.

Just my ramblings. I'd like to see some of the audience-level shots if you want to put them up.

Nice first effort, Jeroen. :nod

The unfortunate thing about shooting from above is that you can't get their eyes in the shot. People like to see people's eyes.

I like the second one, nice tight crop. It gives you an idea what a longer lens might do for you.

2 drummers? I've seen 4 last afternoon. It was a 3 hour session where everyone could join in if they had the guts.

Here are 2 more.

Oh, I get it now! I thought it was one band playing.

I like these new ones better, improved angle, you can see faces. :thumb
