- Location:
- Hanalei Kauai Hawaii
- Description:
- Taken with my iPhone! We had dinner in this funky little bar last night. This band is playing an Hawaiian song and the woman on the right is doing the hulla to the music. The focus is poor. There is not a lot of technical expertise but I think this well represents the mood if the place.

What do you like?
I like the atmosphere and graininess of the shot, which I imagine is as a result of the fairly high ISO you probably needed to capture a photo in such dim conditions. I actually like the framing of the performers with the audience...that puts the viewer into the "thick of things" and gives a real "felt sense" of what it was like to be there.

So, one of the dilemmas of night concert shooting is contending with challenging lighting. Your white balance is too hot (the image looks a bit too red), so if you have been shooting with raw you could try cooling things down a little. Sometimes, it is hard to recover accurate toning (even if you have the latitude of raw files) so it is worthwhile first making it the best version of the image in colour and THEN converting to black and white. The other thing I would consider is some more rigorous cropping, get rid of the extraneous wall to the right of the girl...and you could even consider just cropping to focus the viewers attention on the guy and girl on the right, keeping the two primary audience members on the right as well. I hope that is helpful, Mary :)

Yes you have caught some atmosphere here

The performers a somewhat too obscured by the customers, the woman is not too bad as she is looking at the band, but the man in the white shirt looks uninterested. It would probably have helped if you could have stood up to take the shot
