i like motor's pics better than eatonrabbit.... that flash ruins the pictures IMO.

where the hell are these clubs tho?

 

[silverback]

Nasty bunch of skanks.

 

[motorhoney]

My pics are all from the Twin Cities in MN. They're not skanks!

Not much of a "concert", but a live band at a bar a while back

Then the next day I took some pics with these chicks again....

Those were all just lit with the stage-lights. I'd feel like a real douche to be running around poppin' flash at this kinda thing - most stage lighting is setup so that things look pretty good if you find the right angles and stuff.

love your pictures dude, what kind of editing do you typically do? i'm a huge fan of the colors and such.

 

[motorhoney]

I just do basic processing in Lr.

Contrast, brightness, exposure, WB and split toning.

Looks like some pretty solid stuff to me, VDUBMKV.

The only thing that bugs me is... when using a wide angle/fisheye, I'd try to keep the lines straight vs shooting from arbitrary positions. I don't have much experience with UWA/fisheye but it just irks me to see.

Not a club shot, but from a bar during a wedding - I liked it
