So, I just finished photographing CMJ for Pitchfork. Was a heck of an experience. Photographed a lot of great bands.... and learned a lot about my limitations as a photographer.
Some of my problems continue to be 1. Clipping 2. Exposure 3. Composition.... the first two especially, though certainly the third as well. I see other photographers who are shooting the same show and whose photos I view as, frankly... better than mine, even if their gear is on par or slightly inferior. I shoot at high ISOs in poor light and the photos end up looking ridiculously grainy. I drop the shutter speed to compensate and the blur is distracting.
Would anyone be so kind as to point out some of the flaws with these pics, and ways they might go about remedying them? They're all fine... but I don't feel like any of them are really great.
Thanks!
FWIW, all shots taken with Nikon D300, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4, and in one case, an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6
