The answer is almost nothing. Most images did not even receive white balance correction. All of them were shot on Auto White Balance on the Nikon D3 using the default “Standard” color setting.

The images were processed in Capture NX version 2.1 and exported to JPEG.

Images that were shot at an ISO effectively exceeding 3200 were had the chroma noise removed via Noise Ninja.

Images that were slightly too cool received my custom warming filter in Photoshop CS3.

All images were downsized for the web, sharpened and watermarked via custom actions in Photoshop.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I did take a few photos of you guys, but not enough to constitute a full set (which is why I didn't post them to the blog). I would have taken more but my brother Todd and I were working for Semi Precious Weapons that night and naturally conserved our resources for their set. I have a very busy week ahead of me, but I'll have a look at your set and send you anything that turns out. Best, Chris Hi Evan,

I’m glad you like the shots!

My band (Honor By August) is good friends with the Ruse and actually opened the show that night. So as you might imagine I was just curious if you might have shot anything from the set prior! Either way, these are great shots and you are right -- the Ruse did put on a hell of a show! Chris, these shots are awesome!!

This is sort of a study in what type of shots can be had when shooting from a single position. It also gives you an idea of how hard The Ruse guys were rocking out. Thanks as always Craig.

In fact, I was there for 4 hours last night covering a screening of the new Metal Documentary Anvil: The Story of Anvil. The lighting did not fail me. I have a show at MHOW next week. I'm sort of dreading how band the light is going to be. Thanks for the comment! Hi Jeremy,
