What a title eh and what a guy, so for c&c, this is my first real go with the d300 and I am delighted with the iso capabilities. I think it is also a good example of what a good key light can do for a band too. So I pished iso as far as 1250 at some stages, staying mostly around 800 though, manual shooting and a few selective guy gowan processes to get the finish I wanted, I'd just like to know what you guys think, does the processing suit the images?

first one is great second thoug, is too dark, no eyes or mouth in the shot which doesn't work for me at all

As .org said , also the 2nd is basically from the same angle as ur 1st shot and the crop is too tight, missing his right elbow.
1st def has nice colours.....the guy playing Brian May behind needs to lose a few pounds, Brian was skinnier than a catwalk model. :pac:

These would be great to watch for the craic though, they gonna be in town or North Dublin anytime soon?

Ah now thats not nice, they dont need to look like the original band just sound like them, that could be a hurtful comment....

Other than that I agree the black and white is high on contrast, I have it in colour also just wasnt sure hwich was my favourite.

Freddie was hilarious, both Freddie and Bono actually made a point to make a show of me, I never met them before that night and they highly embarrassed me, Freddie pausing a song to do multiple poses and Bono during this shot was moving closer to straddle me, I had been kneeling low in front of the stage, he didnt leave me with much time to pose, just to lean away as fast as I could.... Great craic.

These bands played along with 3 others including my husbands, a tribute night in aid of the children to lapland appeal, all bands can be found on www.tributebands.ie

Suppose what I class as a tribute band is the full experience and yours would be good craic.

I watched a Ramones tribute band and the vocalist had short hair....it was never going to work no matter how good they were.

maybe, my husband does bon jovi, doesnt look like him but they give an amazing show and a comment similar to that really hurt him before, a tribute band is about feeling the experience which is good music the way its supposed to be rather than watching a load of guys dressed up with wigs givingan ok musical performance, me I'd rather go with the ones who sound good than sit listenign to a lookalike that cant sing.

As long as he gets the chicks that JBJ gets I'm sure he can handle it.
