Second Sun @ Buffalo

This would be Second Sun's first performance down here in buffalo. It's about damn time I get to witness some good music being played here. Heh.. First time I saw them was back in the UMF10.. It was awesome!!

Adam White and Antoine Becks make up the duo who are well known for their live performances. First time I heard them was with a collaboration with Paul Van Dyk around 2005. Of course, back then I didn't know about them. It was the song 'Crush' in PVD's album 'Reflections'. When I was in college, I used to spam that song on my MP3 player. hehe..

Here's the video of Crush.

Some how I cannot embed the info.. Myeh... oh well..

Here's the link to the Flickr for the whole album.

Through the shoot, I had many problems with capturing them from the stage. The bars between the stage and table did not help much. What I wanted was to capture the crowd as well as the 2 guys and it turned out pretty horrible so I dropped them =(

Anyway, here are the best picks of the night. I tried to up the contrast and it worked really well in this case. ^^

I tried my hand at making the contrast stronger and I found that it does make the subjects pop more.

I'm always bad at action shots without my flash, but I'm glad that this turned out decent

I've got free reign and I get to move to any part of the club to shoot. I really enjoyed this freedom to shoot =)




I thought that the lighting and composure of this shot is one of the best in all my shots.
Slowly improving ^^
