Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Yep, all very good shots. None of the 'gob stuck to a microphone' type shots (apart from maybe #5 and #6 but thats down to the angle so about nowt you could do about that). Looks like you had some decent light to work with too

I will be at a festival this weekend and I am hoping to give my 5D and 70-200 /2.8 a good workout though I very much doubt I'll have such impressive lighting........more like a tungsten lamp

Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Good set of photos there fella....the first, fourth and the last are the ones for me, these are really top grade the kind you would expect to see in the highend magazines.

Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Difficult to pic a favourite they are all of a very high standard IMO. If I'm pushed I'll have to say #1 & #5

Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Welcome to the forum, these are great. 1, 4 and 7 are my faves. They're not exactly boyz any more are they though?!

EDIT: you added the last 3 while I was typing. They are great too. Did you have a press pass for this concert?

Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Hi,

Well what can I say - wonderful set of pictures - My favs are the first of the first set, and the second of the second set !

They look soooooo clean. The second of the second set has wonderful range of tones, and I just love the simplicity - the cut off legs, with alot of space for the lights - just works for me. As someone else said - do you do this for a living because these are the shots I'd expect in a high end music mag.

The only neg, is some blown highlights, but in this series that kind of works.

Excellent.

Mark.

Excellent shots. That is a superb body/lens pairing combination you have.

Yep, I know Gordon, what a combination. covers the max focal range with IS and 2.8.
When I get a 5dII I'll have the same coverage.

Re: Boyz II Men - Hammersmith Apollo 24th March 08

Yes I love my combo, I also have a 50mm F1.2 L for low light work, but for these gigs the lighting is good so having the fixed focal can be limiting as your freedom to move around is hampered, hence the 17-55 IS F2.8, a super lens giving me great flexiblilty.
