p.1 #1 · Rockband party C&C Please :)


Friends organized a killer RockBand party. I decided I'd try my hand at some "rock concert themed" lighting while they played (I played too of course... and suXXers big time )

set up an off camera 580ex2 gelled with a blue gel and gelled my ettl one on camera with a CTO.

Shot my 5D with the 35L and with a modified EF-S 10-22.

I'd love your thoughts on the results:

The only thing you're missing is the fog machine. I don't recommend it in small houses though. And I'm telling you this from experience.

How do you get the movie-istic colors?

geofan - thanks! Yeah the fake stache was a big hit

4honor - Thank you, I'm pretty happy with them I was actually surprised how much I liked them already Straight out of camera

Xception - Thank you for the compliment ... keep in mind that the setting and the peeps dressing up had a lot to do with it

jdl1527 - ! Fog machine would have gotten us all killed in the movie theatre. Would have been cool though Maybe next time I'll bring along my kids' vicks vaporizer No seriously!

patrick - I'm not sure exactly what you mean by movie-istic colors (though I'm going to take that as a compliment)... I had two flashes, one gelled blue (the one in the corner) the other gelled orange ... that would give a more "complex" lighting taste to the images as they would be cool AND warm. When I processed the images I mostly cooled all of them a little bit, almost totally neutralizing much of the Orange's contribution, but not totally. I then increased contrast somewhat in most of them and used some simple gradients with exposure adjustments to burn some of the backgrounds and guide the eye to the subjects.

I think that explains it. I'm sorry I just don't have the proper vocabulary to explain what i see!
