Cannibal Corpse

published by Kalle Björklid on Wed, 03/21/2007 - 3:12pm

Didn't get that many good pictures from this show (3-song rule, club setting).
Venue: Nosturi, Helsinki

These all happen to be shot with the Canon 15/2.8 fish eye

yeps, the lighting conditions were pretty bad on that gig but you did good! Seems that your fisheye was a good choice, well done :)

Thanks! I actually joked after this gig and the gig the next day that maybe I should sell the other seven lenses I own, since all the photos I deemed to be the best were taken with the fisheye :)

That would be the last nail to honour you the nick name Kalle "the fish Eye" Björklid!

Lost of hair, but nice action.
Why is #1 square? IMO top and bottom don't add to the image...

I just have to admire your work. You have so great sense of timing and techically – uh – it’s hard to understand how anyone can be so good. Thanks for this forum. It’s really nice to read about a subject itself for a change (over all there is definitely too many of those concentrateing on gear).

I got a question which one is related to postprosessing (ok, if I ask about it here?): how to make colours to look like in a picture 1? Correct me if I’m wrong, but they don’t look like that in original photo? I’m a total newbie on music photographing (four gigs ) and don’t understand much about postprosessing either…

Ps I will post my introduction as soon as possible.

kalle - when dealing w/ the 3 song rule, how often do you change lenses?

As far as I can remember, it is a combination of RAW-conversioon (IIRC pretty heavy addition of brightness to balance out the backlight), curves-adjustment, saturation adjustment and a bit of diffuse glow.
