Got to shoot another show at Folken Yeasterday.spending the morning with Breakfast,coffe and postprocessing ! planned a early morning surf adventure as there is a good swell forecast,but got reports from the coast that the waves were non existant(actually we had 5 days in a row wih 10-12 sec. swell !)well a prolonged Sunday breakfast isnt that bad either !
The pictures from the show turned out to be a bit dull with the usual smoke/noise filter and bad color redention however i always shoot in RAW format and work with postprocessing. If you have a DSLR i would recomend that you use RAW. lots of room to tweak white balance,and you get picture files thats more robust to tweaking than JPG . Did the usual converting to B/W which is a lifesaver for dull concert photos. applied some different color filters to the pictures which definitively enhanced them ! all the above pictures were "developed" with DPP a program that comes FREE with ALL Canon DSLRs ! a good program to for RAW converting and postprocessing. it does all the basics. check it out if you dont already use a similar program ! I would say its three rules for good picture quality.
1. Use good optics ! fixed focals gives most "bang for the buck"
2.Shoot in RAW !
3. Learn a basic postprocessing program. the free ones like Picasa and DPP are a start.
