Concerts | Hope for Haiti Benefit Concert - C&C Appreciated!

JonDraperPhoto

Hey, I didn't know where to put this thread with Concert pictures.. but I figured this would be an alright spot. Last night, at Fellowship Church, there was a Hope for Haiti Benefit Concert. I played the guitar in one of the bands but when I was offstage I grabbed the camera and shot away. The guy with the glasses is Jonathan Cook from Forever the Sickest Kids. He is a strong Christian and a member at Fellowship church and always very thankful towards me and everyone else who plays with him. He also sang with our band that played as well. While offstage, I took some pictures that are some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken and so I thought I would share them with you all! Hope you enjoy!

C&C is welcomed

First one is a winner in my book!

1 and 5 are spectacular. I really like the comp in 5 with the crowd in silhoutte. The striking thing about those photos is the color and the smoke, so the B&W conversions lose a lot of punch.

Very nice shots, and I agree with the others ~ the color images rock

Thank you rwells!

Ditto on the color shots--#5 is "far out!"

The whole series is great, but Nr 1 is really awsome. I love all the details in the smoke in that one.
Your signature might have been a little more discrete though for my taste.

Great work!

Thanks everyone.. and Jeroen, I just started using that logo because i've had a lot of trouble with people using them as FB profile pictures and cutting my name out.. so I figured I would battle the issue. Thanks for the kind words everyone!
