Hello all,
I took some photos of my friends band "crash symphony" who played live at "the basement". A very good gig, and they did a live recording which will be out in the next month. Im also doing a revamp of their website which will hopefully be live end of the month - http://www.crashsymphony.com <- existing site.

I took all the photos with an F100, 3200iso Kodak TMZ film, and my trusty 50mm f/1.8.

I only shot off one roll, and did it more to experiment. They were glad I did, the "official" photographer's results (over 300+ digital files) were not as good (apparently).

#4 is my favourite, I was very impressed at the low grain of such a high speed film!











Love to hear your thoughts...
Images were scanned with my Epson 4990 photo scanner.

I am also very impressed with the low grain, however the images to me are a little dark and busy. The second image is probly my pick of the lot, you did well considering it was with film.

Jono,

As a digital shooter of a few years now (and ex-fim shooter), I have to be honest. I said to myself, yikes, film shooter in club setting = no chimping !

Ah how lazy I have become. Actually I was thinking of picking up an F5 and re-visiting some film days but purely for leisure

I like the look, even PS doesnt quite give the same B/W look as real emulsion. I'd preferred if you got in closer and "grabbed" your subject more - these are a little stand offish. I like an in-your-face style but thats just a style I like. If they tell you to eff off, then honor that and move back. Get pics of thier hands on the keyboard and thier faces, fingers on bridges etc, make it personal.

This has alot of potential. Thanks for the post.
