Hi Dave,

Thanks! Semi Precious Weapons are one of my favorite bands to shoot. I’ve had a rough week and I REALLY appreciate your kind words.

Can you send me an email with one of the RAW files? I’d be happy to process it “my way” and see if the results are more to your liking.

Also, be sure to read Todd’s recent bit on Noise Reduction. Our noise workflows are nearly identical:

These are great shots! As per usual, I feel like I’m on stage whenever I look at your shots.

Shot a jazz singer in a rather dimly lit venue last night in San Diego…had to jack up iso to 3200 to get any kind of exposure w/long lens, and the results are NOISY.

Got any ideas for what to do next time around?

Thanks Todd,

Given the number of late arriving photographers rudely clawing their way to the front, we definitely had this one in the bag.

For future jobs, I won’t be so worried about the batteries. I will definitely be shooting more.

Hey Chris,

Awesome set here, it’s a lot of fun to see what you got just a few feet away from me.

The BrOwyoungs got this show locked up. This is just the start.
