As mentioned yesterday, last night Mat and I went to a
concert. If you’re a fan you’ve probably read the title, and by now realised
who we saw; but, for the benefit of non-fans, we went to see The Script!! They
are definitely one of my favourite bands, whereas Mat was there a little more
as company (even if he did admit he enjoyed it!).
D-SLRs aren’t allowed into the concert venue as they are
deemed to be professional, so I took my compact with me. I had to use digital
zoom to take this photo, so I shall apologise for the image quality now. It
came across that the band were enjoying themselves just as much as the crowd,
which made for some amazing photos!!! Around half way through the evening, they
duetted with the audience on one of their most well known songs; the lead
singer pointed to the audience when he wanted them to sing. I managed to
capture this just as the video wall lined up with the singer.
Due the lacking quality, I edited the image in Photoshop.
I sharpened it and increased the contrast, followed by decreasing the
brightness and hue. Finally, I increased the saturation and removed the noise.
I’m really pleased with this photo; as it was standing only and incredibly
dark, it was almost impossible to get any sharp photos- let alone while trying
to use maximum zoom.
One small pearl of wisdom I should pass on is learnt
through experience; COLDS AND CONCERTS DO NOT MIX- EVER. My friends seem happy
at the moment; it may have something to do with the involuntary ban on anything
vocal… oops!
