Clearview Rocks Erie - PHOTO GALLERY LINK

Here's two samples from the gallery above.

I've photographed over 40 plus bands the last 5 months, including signed acts like Falling Up, John Reuben, By the Tree, Everlife.

Clearview is one of my top five even three. Seriously pro level unsigned act.

They've got a new EP out at Clearviewrock.com

They also actively tour. Did 150 shows last year. If you are looking for a seriously rocking, pro caliber act for a concert or youth event, you should contact them. If they are already in the area, you can get them really cheaply or even for door or love offering.

Nice image. Very sharp.

I did a shoot at a concert last saturday, but the best lens I had was NOT a good low-light lense....it wasnt very great.

I am sorry. I did not mean for you to think it was snide or sarcastic...it wasn't.
I just wondered why you were pushing a band in the photography forum....I believe that would be in the music threads, that is all.
The photo is very nice however. Like Rip said...sharp. It's hard to do with low light.
Again, I am sorry if you took something from what I said. I apparantly am very hard to get to know/understand.
The end.

Wow, I really like that picture...
Do you photograph them professionally?

Oh, no problem. Thanks for explaining. I just didn't know what you were referring.

I'm pushing the band simply because I really do like them and think they stand out. There's no compensatory relationship. Even for photography. for unsigned indies, particularly christian, I shoot on love offering basis.

Similary, we're not hometown friends or anything like that. I didn't know them till I saw them in concert among many others.

I guess I can take out the advocacy for the band if people are offended. Just wanted to underscore that the band is not just a "pretty picture"!

Im guessing a 1.4-1.8ish 50mm?

RipVanWinkle · 01-18-2006, 08:58 PM

This was from my latest concert. The widest the lense would go was like 4.5...I dont have a 50, and nobody rents them out...just wide angle zooms. There also wasnt much light.

Nice, sharp shot - just a little fuzzy it looks like on the head [moving? or focus got the cymbal stand lst] but still very easy to see. Nice colors on the sweatshirt and sharp nike logo.

The first one is from the balcony with a 135mm f2.0. The second is from the floor with an 85mm 1.8.

What ISO? Looks like 1600?

Yes, iso 1600. Some shots could be pulled off at iso 800 but many not. EXIF info is provided for each photo.

The 1600 does give it noise, but its a nice grain that to me helps make the photos feel "worn in."
