Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Different Band this time but also from the Blue Mountains, this one is Olivine a three piece we lots of energy on stage. I find I tend to like the black and whites of the gig shots, they seem often more dramatic and you can push the exposure around a lot more. That said I've been trying to work on the colour as well, and find that sometimes correcting the white balance for skin tones works.. and other times I prefer to keep the lighting colourful and dramatic and to hell with the skin tones, as its more like how I saw it with my own eyes. Love to hear your thoughts - in this case all four I've tried to get accurate skin tones.

The more I use it the better I find it, I was pretty disappointed when I tried these style of photography with the D200. But the D700 just does so much more of the heavy lifting for me. I really need to learn more about setting the camera up, and tweaking some of the settings as I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface, but even so I'm loving it.
