Was this photo taken with a D200 as it appears to be showing severe banding? 
If I'm alone in a forest and my wife is not around to hear what I say, am I still wrong ??

Michael! - Gorgeous stuff! Man the forum is cranking out some great silhouettes this is really great (well I think so) I would imagine some might suggest cloning the mic stand on the left, but I say, bugger it, keep it in there.

Hi lisa
I'm only fairly young still a teen for another 2 months so gigs for me are normal and I go to alot, so thats a bit of my background and thats why I get to a alot of gigs.
But if you want to get into this sort of thing I would suggest finding out where bands are playing, taking your camera and getting known by introducing yourself to organisers of small gigs and what not.
maybe even offer a few bands a few free cd's of your work of the night, It helps alot with getting known!
Also thanks for the comments muchly appreciated!

That is absolutely the best band shot I've seen from you so far and right up there in terms of quality and composition with the best images of any type I've seen here.

I can't see how it would be harder being a female.
I know a few photographers like me that are female and go to alot of gigs and they are just as accepted there as I am.
I think if you push with your interests even harder you'll get to where you wanna be in no time.

I guess I have the whole worry of I am a mother and wife and feel I shouldnt be out at night by myself.. I know I know go for it. I am slowly edging my way in by getting a few contacts here and there, hopefully something will pan out. I have also been writing to a few places like restaurants that have live bands (I think i would feel safer there), they are more intimate. We'll see what this year brings.

I understand
Well even if it's a slow and steady pace into the music scene at least it one in the right direction! Also since you only joined here yesterday let me welcome you to the forum.

That's a magazine or album cover. You have a commercial product there. Well done.
