Working Girl Blues Concert Photos




Home Made Album Cover

I met a professional concert photographer at a party who told me how much he didn’t like smart phones and only used Photoshop to edit. Of course when I was at Ashkanaz, a small 1970-ish club, for this concert, I had to see if I could capture some images on my iPhone. I was in the back left zoomed in using Camera+ and Manual apps. I’m proud of how they came out.
Let me know what you think
Just now getting back to adding other entries from this week’s challenge: Please check them out.

I like the way the women are put in the spotlight with contrast and tones making them pop. It’s particularly hard to shoot in low lighting with a Smartphone. Camera+ does amazing feats, as your images show. Usually zoom becomes grainy, but these worked. Happy Photo Challenge.

You know I only zoomed half way and then cropped. I have tried concerts before but this was the first time I was able to get good shots, partly because of the small venue and they had good lighting. I saw others take ing smart phone photos and shaking their head’s and quitting… Yeah Camera+ !
Happy Monday

I love the sepia also, it seems to bring out the faces more. I would have hated talking to the photographer at the party, not sure I could keep a civil tongue in my head. And you should be proud of these photos, they’re great!

A little wine may have mellowed my attitude. Also we talked about photo history. We smart phone photographers are pushing the boundaries which is threatening to some. I showed him a few pics and he had to admit they weren’t half bad. Big compliment huh? 😉
I think he was willing to learn
Yea sepia!

Not sure you will see this reply because I’m about a week behind. Love the B&W photos. Just amazing what a phone can do. I have been taking more pictures with my iphone. Gotta figure out how to use it more though. The iphone sure beats that Argus C3 I had back in the 1950’s. lol
Wonderful shots Carol.
