Riverside

This is the band "Riverside" here in Seattle. (Looks best small. :))

I went to my first concert in many years the other night to see my favorite band "Riverside" who are all the way from Poland. This is the best photo I could get of the band and it's a screenshot from a short video I took (unfortunately, I couldn't see the drummer from where I was.)

It sure taught me a lot about what you need to get good photos in low light without a tripod and my little Sony just wasn't up to it at all especially with people bouncing all around me :D I had a great time though and the band was fantastic!

For Sight and Sound here are a couple of songs from their album "Wasteland" (2018)

Lament

Wasteland

Jean-luc Drouin, Peter_Private_Box, Roger Bennion, Anji. and 6 other people have particularly liked this photo

I guess if the people are jumping you all were having lots of fun ;-) Taking that into account, this is a brillant shot - so you made the best of it.

A very moody concert shot. The picture breathes the athmosphere. I've got tickets for Gov't Mule tomorrow night here in Frankfurt. But I don't know if I take my camera with me.

Danke sehr, Ulrich. Have a good time! I hope you can get some pics if you do take your camera. I had to be a little sneaky with mine since I wasn't sure if it was a small enough size. :))

I used to play some Govt. Mule songs in a band I was in. Great band!

Well caught, Karen. I've not tried concert photography, but it does look demanding. An enjoyable link too.

Thanks so much, George. The short videos turned out much better than my photos. A full frame camera would have a much better chance than the APS-C sensor on my little Sony. And I can't really go above 800 ISO with this camera either so I learned a lot trying this out. It was a great experience all around. :)

It is certainly difficult lighting, but that's what makes in interesting. Very good concert photo.

This is a really, really good concert shot. Crackin' colours! I guess it would have been good to get drummer in the shot as well. But, the way the guys diagonally fill the frame works a treat, Karen. New music to me. Like it!

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Wow, thanks so much, Roger. I was surprised that a screenshot from a video could look better than a RAW photo but I'm just glad something worked. :)

So glad you like the music too. I really love these guys.

The little Sony did a pretty good job! It's a really nice photo and evenly lit. Lots of times, concerts don't show up very well with little cameras like this.

Thanks, Kenny. I really appreciate that. :)

Next time I'm going to see about getting permission to take photos. Then I'll feel like I can experiment more.

Hi Karen,

I am very impressed by what you have achieved here!
When I have had free reign to photograph concerts, I have never matched such a dynamic picture as this one. It really conveys a sense of energy and enthusiasm...

Best Wishes
Peter

Well, thank you so much, Peter. That is so nice of you. My Sony does pretty nice video so next time I will probably do more of that. I'd like get a whole song on video. :))
