Topanga Blues Festival

Had a chance to shoot this Festival, and jumped right in with both feet.
Great Music, met some real Blues Greats. I hope these samples give a proper depiction of the event. I'm still working up more and if I make the cut some of these will be used in future flyers, ads etc. to promote other events. Mind you this is my 1st attempt and this kind of wildlife

That first one is lit nicely. Fills the frame well and shows the feeling of
the event.

Nice job!

I love numero uno as well. POPS is a great way to describe it. You might want to brighten up a couple of the others just a tad. I would also crop #3 just above the drummers cap. All the shots are really expressive and reflect the energy of the band. Nice job.

Hey allright thanks for the input.
Took your advice and cropped tighter on the drummer, does that work better .
I think it does, good suggestion thanks again

Glad you visited and commented

Hi Ben,
A lot of really good, expressive captures there. Again, #1 does the trick. I think you did a wonderful job at capturing their music in their expressions.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris
