As I was scrolling down the thread salivating, I intended to ask the exact same question.

Amazing set of photos!

Thirded! I am in love with the punchy colors and contrast. Perfect for the subject matter.

Put me in line for the same request. Beautiful shots and PP.

ShepsMom

Me too, me too, want to know pp on these. Great images

Seneca

That last one just cracked me up!

DoctorIt

Great shots! Which festival, was it another one of the Heineken Thirst tours? Who was there? Not that attractive young ladies are a bad thing but I was hoping for some shots of Tiesto, Oakenfold, or the like...

wonderful!-

Many thanks for everyone's feedback :-)

This was shot during Dance Valley this year, a few miles off Amsterdam.
People tend to be in a playfull mood during those festivals, so it is a paradise for me as a photographer.

I gave the toys to the girls and they played along, this guy had the sticker in his hand and asked him to transform himself as a billboard and so on...

I did quite a lot of DJ shoots, but I'm a bit tired of it. Waiting an hour backstage to have the greenlight from the stage manager wears me out....

I focused on the crowd this year, we'll see what I'll do in a couple of weeks when I'll join MysteryLand (even wilder)

As far as the pp, I push the contrast + saturation quite high in Photoshop - use a ND gradiant filter, and that's it :-)


Here is a DJ trying to compete with my Mark III ;-)

Pow!!! These are really awesome! Great processing, great composition and extremely entertaining subjects!!! I really love the sticker-head, the bubble-blower, and the alien - character with the green hair. I bet these venues are a photographer's dream.

Thanks for sharing your deceptively simple secrets! I looked through your blog and photos and you do some truly fantastic work. So you are enjoying your Mark III?

Thanks everyone.

I love the MIII. The transition from my D2X was easier han I thought. There are a few things I miss from Nikon, but many other that make me very happy to own a MIII :-)
