Just spent hours reorganizing the Concerts page on my website, and now am torn between editing more photos, yard work, or a nap...

Unfortunately, my favorite choice is in third place.

It's time to get moving ahead in life. No time for naps!

No time to write today, so here's a concert photo!  This has bounced around a bit, but I don't think it's ever been put out as my Photo of the Day before...

Photo of the Day by A. F. Litt: October 3, 2014

This was an amazing show taking place in a house up in the West Hills.  Those windows behind David offer one of the most spectacular views of the Portland skyline around.  This is a pretty rough photo shot with my iPhone (all that was allowed) and I couldn’t get the skyline because I was sitting on the floor, in front, right at his feet.  Bad for photography, great for a fan (which I am…  David’s my favorite out of that old crew and Urban Urbane, to me, is one of the best albums of the 1990s)…

Been too busy recently and the photo of the day is working more like a photo of the week, but I press on anyway.  Tons of work going into getting Illuminated Imaging launched and we’ve had a pretty serious health issue in the family (don’t worry, everyone is doing well), so time has been at a premium here recently.  Hopefully things will settle out a bit next week and I can get a few more posts in.

Photo of the Day by A. F. Litt:  September 25, 2014

So, after a bit of a break to deal with a bunch of paid work, I’m jumping back into the photo of the day in a very different place from where I left off…  Leaving behind Wyoming for a bit, I am diving back in time to the 2013 Raven Ink Tattoo Anniversary Party at the Tonic Lounge.  This is Chris DeMarcus of the Vancouver B.C. band Stiff Valentine.

These guys were pretty good, I’ve seen them a couple times, but they were having a rough go of it this night due to some of the tech issues mostly electronic bands run into from time to time.  Been there, done that, and I had sympathy.  They were pros and got through it the best they could. 

Going over to their Facebook page to check on them and remember who was who, apparently they’ve been through some rough times recently, too...  The band called it quits about a week ago.

Talenthouse: My Soundgarden 2013 Short List

Murder By Death. Dante's. Portland, Oregon. August 11, 2012.

Band photography is something I've always wanted to get into a bit more, but haven't for various reasons over the years.

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, working with film, the lighting issues were just too annoying to deal with. However, these days, digital cameras are just much more light sensitive, and then there is the ability to vary ISO per shot, not per role, so that helps a lot. Also, being able to review the shots on the spot is tremendously helpful in these situations, because I can keep firing away until I know I've captured what I've been aiming for.

This last year, when I started taking cameras around with me pretty much everywhere, it was only natural to start taking some shots at shows, and I have been happy with the results.

I really like playing with the stage lighting, good performers do interesting things, and I can get some of the good, blurry but nice weird effects that I like, giving me a lot to play with in editing.

This last year, time and budget kept me from making it to many shows. Hopefully 2013 will give me plenty of new opportunities to continue developing my technique with live band photography and to build up a more solid portfolio in this area.
