Haven't posted some shows in a while...playing catch up.

Never seen No Doubt live, and was very surprised... was a great show

Well, I have No Doubt that these are Concert Samples
The first one looks to me like it was a rehearsal as it appears to be an almost empty stage but I assume that was just the set up they had.

Def. not rehearsal about 3 songs in

was a nice open & VERY white stage as you can see

very nice, esp. 2nd shot

what camera body are you using? with many bodies, i'd expect focus would be hard to come by with backlighting/flare such as the light behind gwen's head in #2

man, these are really good ryan! they look like photos from the inside of a CD cover. nice shooting!

Loved #1, to nitpick, her face seems a bit lengthened.

Her abs on the second is distracting to me. I understand she's hunched, but it bothered me still.

Gwen puts on an AWESOME show!!

I can't wait to see No Doubt when they come through Los Angeles but I gotta say I don't care much for the stage setup. Adrian, Stephen and Gabriel look too far back. Great shots though.

Man, she has abs.
I bet that white stage and wardrobe helped your exposures a ton.
Nice shots.
You've especially captured great moment with the bassist on the second.

Thank Daniel...

I shoot a D200 & D50. Shooting in Manual mode at lowest apeture and adjusting the shutter speed on the fly. yes.. it makes for intersting exposures

yeah her face in #1 does seem a bit lightened, but with the all white stage set, and the light beaming at her face...it really lightened it up. I did nothing to her face in that one

And after looking at 2.. I guess I could have smoothed that out a little Is kinda wierd looking!

Lengthened, as in thinned out, either just the face or the whole shot. Looked like post processing, but since you mentioned you didnt touch it, then the perspective of the lens?

AH...theres my dyslexia kicking in.. yes I was using a wide angle lens which most likely caused the distortion

Nice images. What city are these from?

I just took photos of them last night in Cleveland, so I'm curious.
