you're welcome. i was joking about 'instagramming it'. i had a quick drunken go at processing it. surprised i was able to recover that much colour from the sky from a jpeg.

by angle, do you mean perspective-wise, or the fact that i add a tilt to a lot of my photos? for perspective, i often like to get down as low as i can...half so i don't obstruct any people that are trying to enjoy the show. as for the tilt, that is partly due to the fact i only ever shoot drunk, partly due to the fact that i shoot with only prime lenses so i can't zoom, so some of the time i can only frame things in the image i want is to turn the camera to get the shot...and most importantly a lot of the time i feel it can make for a much more dynamic shot. 'pros' scoff off at adding any sort of tilt to photographs, but i don't give a shit...i find most of their photos boring.

here's a shot i took where i feel angle makes it a lot more interesting - a professional would never take this shot. imagine if i just took the picture with her standing up straight how much more static it would seem. to me it seems like she's almost flying upward at that angle.

good work keeping your horizons level. that is very important with any sort of landscape shot.

[Rocket Launcher]

thanks. how the hell did you saturate those color levels?

by avoiding the 'saturation level' slider like the plague. i use adobe lightroom. i pulled down the exposure of the sky with a gradient filter. added a bit of contrast using a tone curve. bumped up 'clarity' a bit. that's about it. but yeah, most of that colour saturation comes from adding contrast.

use film.

[barden]

those are some pretty sweet lenses.

[Mooney]

some of them probably even have a built-in polarizing filter!

[barden]

i dont think those lenses got shit on mine.

that's a fucking awesome guitar

[slunken]

i was thinking the same thing

[severin]

so, i shot another festival a few weeks ago, so here's some shots from the big stages:






















i hope i can shoot some smaller shows in the future. as mooneys pics show: the intimacy makes better motives. love your stuff!

[jczeroman]

[Mooney]

great shots, sev!

i'm going to have my work publicly displayed for the firs time. going to be part of a rock n' roll show/live art/photo exhibit. not sure if i'll bother bringing prints to sell. nobody will buy them.

From Electric Forest a couple weeks ago. You guys rock, I am definitely a novice. These are also completely unedited, as I lost my copy of PSP =\

[KrazeeStacee]

I just went back and realized myspace deleted all of my photo links or whatever. So here's some old favorites that may have been posted but not visible anymore. I feel like I was a better photographer back then...
