Nice pics, one question were there stage lights used, or a lot of tungsten light?
As the skin color seems a little 'off' to me.

The photos are awesome. Sometimes "bad light" is just "mood."


Well done.

Hello.

The show was outside in the evening and there were strong lights where I was standing which lit up the girls, which made the white balance in post processing pretty hard to manage (in RawShooter). Do you think that the skin color is off in every picture or just few?

Thank you,
Johann

If it reflects the show and what was there to see it is not off, it is right on. I do a fair amount of stage shooting, and once you have the major lights, including some gel filters, it is impossible to do a proper white balance, and most of the time better to leave it as is.

Couple of examples:
