jason Forrest Band

published by Rene Damkot on Sat, 05/26/2007 - 1:38pm

Finally working on images taken in April...

The [URL=http://"http://www.myspace.com/jason_forrest"]Jason Forrest Band[/URL] (Formerly known as D.O.N.N.A. S.U.M.M.E.R.) visited Atak, with the Dutch band [URL=http://"http://www.zea.dds.nl/index.html"]Zea[/URL] as support act.

All images [URL=http://"[ BROKEN LINK ]/~rene/070407JFB/"]Here[/URL]

Zea remains one of the most active bands I've seen on stage. Jason Forrest did a good try to be more energetic... The 1D2 AF had trouble keeping up sometimes.

Lighting was pretty harsh / uneven, so most shots are a blend of 2 to 3 exposures....

Love 6, like 8. Now that I am shooting RAW I guess I'm going to have to find out how you manage your masterful post processing bit by bit.

Thanks for the comments, all!

Yep , nice to see live. Both easy and hard to capture: Easy, because they are very energetic: A lot is happening, and you get good expressions. Hard, because they are very energetic. ;)
A lot of motion, hard to focus and freeze in low light.
