The lighting was difficult for this one – the shop had dim light generally but these musicians sat directly under a strong ceiling light, making the scene very contrasty. I selected f0.95 from the get-go so I could fire off a series of bursts without worrying about exposure, however the DOF was shallow enough that the musician on the right is out of focus.
Leica X2 Paul Smith edition, Leica X-E, Panasonic ZS-100.Mate, filming in such harsh overhead lighting against a dark background must have been incredibly difficult! Yet you’ve managed to capture the musicians’ incredible energy during their performance. To be honest, capturing such powerful, high-contrast concert moments reminds me of the club shots posted by Redhead Queen – and if you don’t believe me, you can click here to see for yourself. Great work – you’ve managed to take some brilliant shots despite such tricky lighting!
