It's very difficult to take pictures of yourself when you're on stage playing music.

So Dad did it.

His shots, my post-processing.

This is the band I'm in with my brother on guitar & vocals, myself on bass & vocals, and Boris the drummer.

Leigh. You look positively evil in that second pic - with the cornea(?) of your eye rimlit.

The first pic of your brother is great, but his hands are missing a few fingers.

The shots of Boris are all weird. He's a drummer, but I see no sticks. I think that their presence would have given those shots a greater feeling of immediacy.

The B & W treatment works well for these, although oddly the ones of you seem a lot more gritty than those of the other two (ie your pics have less tonal range and are more starkly B & W). Is that an artistic choice?

'nuff said.

Seriously, there were some other shots (or maybe these - I wasn't a party to Leigh's PP efforts o these) where the stickes were included.

I even set synch to 1/25 and rear curtain in order to try and capture some blur from the sticks, but I've not yet had a chance to look at the raw images.

I can see a stick on #5.

Cheers

That's not a very nice thing to say about Leigh. I guess you mean the bottom RH corner of #6 :wink:

Leigh, it's nice to see you got dressed up for your performance, er, wait a minute... my mistake.... :shock:

Pity we can't hear the music.....

I almost wore my homemade Happy Tree Friends bunny ears (ya'll haven't seen them yet)... but I'm saving them for one of the plays I'm directing...

Steve,

What I heard was enough for both of us.

And for Glen, Peter, Scott, Thanh, Tran, Geoff, Trent, Chris No, seriously.

Oops, of course.

Didn't realise stick was a rude word. But as a foreigner, I'd love to learn...

I like 3,5 and 6. Nice photos.
