There should be a law requiring that all public art be marked with a large sign stating something like: "Notice! This is a piece of art! The public should enjoy it the tune of 80,000 clams!"

@echodrift I sent you an invite. It's awesome, everything is at least half off, often more. But you need to hit the sales when they open in reply to echodrift 6 days ago

Rockin’ the mic

img_0115ed2
A hush spreads over the crowd.
They wait, quiet, holding a collective breath.

The lights come up in the glare of the blues and reds.

The D300 is on stage.

For backup is me, shooting with my iPhone as my Nikon takes center stage. The fisheye is focused and ready. The lights blaze, the shutter opens, and the show begins.

You’ve read the back story. Now see the shots.

Denise from the Main Street Cafe asked me to take some photos of the building, now the renovations are nearing completion. It’s a fun venue with nice acoustics, and I was more then happy to stop buy. At some point I’d like to put a full fledged shoot together, but for now the space itself offers some interesting images.

    The best and worst part of shooting a show is lighting. If the stage is well lit, all those multicolored bulbs offer up interesting effects. If there’s no stage at all, things get tricky. As I try not to use…

Hey, I saw your pictures of MSC on Facebook, and Denise gave me your link. I just wanted to ask how you did photo number seven (The mic, with all the colored lights behind it) Just curios-I’m a photographer too, and I LOVE that effect!

Well, All of these pictures are awesome. If there is even a way to capture all the soul in that building, I think you’ve got it right there. Your work is awesome, thanks for sharing it with us!!

Hey thanks! For the lights the key is a long exposure at a high aperture. I had the camera on a tripod and set on f16 at 2 seconds. A much loved effect.

I’m always try to get to the center of a subject in my photos – I glad you see it too.
