Some shots from last night's performance at the Galway Arts Festival Big Top, one are two aren't hugely sharp but okay for the web. All taken with Canon 550D + 50mm 1.8

First one is really good.
I'd try clone out the heads and you might have a really special shot.

I was at that gig. When they had the B/W video projection up I really wished I had my camera.

Probably extremely awkward to avoid getting heads in the shots - but some really great shots in there.

First one is a cracker and I think the heads work in it, you know there's an audience there, adds atmosphere and depth. The heads don't work so well in the other 2 though, for some reason. 3rd one could easily be cropped down to just the 2 performers, the second one is a challenge.

I'd like to see the second one in color.

I think it is in colour. Misa-san mentioned the black and white video projection which I assume it what is happening in that pic.

Love the first shot btw.

Thecageyone

I think the backdrop is originally B&W, but the performer was obviously in colour. Unless they have some new lighting that can turn people grey? Looks good in B&W I think, bar the crowd-heads cramping it.

Bacchus

Hmm, I was assuming the backdrop was a projection, in which case the performer would be cast in a "black and white" light too.
