No comments after so many views?

I guess that's because there isn't much to say... Or is there? Let's see...

For starters, exposure is way under, composition is so so, and the feel is not there. This is supposed to be a happening event but your pictures are not showing it.

In a chaotic situation like this, try to concentrate on the expression of one person. Capture forceful movements, big laughter, or screaming actions. After you are finally satisfied with one person, move on to shoot others. Don't randomly shoot. That's my personal thoughts. Hope that helps. Look forward to see more shots.

ohh... i did took expression shots. they are in the link. did you see?

thanks for the advice leejay! i used rear sync flash this time round. hahaha. playing around with that.

[heckcare.der]

this better?

[littlejt]

it would be better if the fella is looking at your camera.. but you cant control them anyhows..

i think for these kind of events, you shud try to capture those pretty lights with the muscians doing their things with great gusto..

go out and practice more! baybeats coming up soon.. just my 2cents from an amateur fella

love this one

Great shots sir! love how you managed to take great photos under such poor lighting conditions! You're shots resemble some shots during the 5th Manila Jazz Fest!

[heckcare.der]

hey! thanks for the compliment magnum!

[littlejt]

dood baybeats is on from fri to sun. go get some shots.

[heckcare.der]

haha! tough to get right infront. hard to get nice shots man.

[littlejt]

haha push yourself through all the indie kids or make a fake photographer pass haha

[heckcare.der]

haha! well, i did push my self thru. all the battling and crap. got pushed. gave them some wacking as well. HAHAHA!!

fake photographer pass? sounds like a plan! maybe next yr.

[littlejt]

dood last day tmr.. haha go print your "photographer's pass" now. and whack more indie kids. btw were there alot of photographers there?

[lurgee]

yes there were lots of photographers but only 7 official ones.
the best would be to go early and get a good spot in the front.
lots of good bands playing tomorrow and of cos be prepared to get pushed and shoved again.
