Single Income are extremely professional, and one of my favorite Cover Bands.<\/p>\n

They play lots of old rocking favorites from the 80’s like The Doors, The Angels, and Bad Company.<\/p>\n

The crowd is always up dancing and having a great time at their gigs, and the lead singer Greg is the penultimate frontman.<\/p>\n

He wanders around with his radio mike and gets people singing, (even the staff behind the bar), and really knows how to work with a crowd.<\/p>\n

EQUIPMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sony Alpha A-77
\nSony SAL35mm F1.8 (for non flash photos)
\nTamron 17-50mm F2.8
\nYongnuo Speedlight YN460-II<\/p>\n

Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 (Quite a bit of photoshopping was done).<\/p>\n

Post Shoot Notes are much the same as the one’s for the Momentum Shoot the previous night. <\/p>\n

– Photshopping adding Gamma Exposure for rich blacks and dramatic high contrast.<\/p>\n

– No Flash photos done with the Sony SAL35mm F1.8 with a few usable shots obtained, but focussing in low light band shots does seem to be an issue. <\/p>\n

– Yongnuo Flash annoying the hell out me when it doesn’t fire, just as you have everyone set up for a great “Party People” shot. <\/p>\n

– Need to make the final photoshopped photos just a little bit brighter, as they are not quite bright enough on Mobile Phone. Even though they look “just right” on the PC with a good bright monitor. <\/p>\n

– I still not have worked out how to eliminate white splotches on cheekbones, nose tips, and foreheads on flash shots of people; however it seems that using ISO 1250 and a bit more flash power, to make quite bright pictures helps this to some extent. I have a Gary Fong Light Sphere diffuser on order, and hope that it may spread more even soft light than the standard diffuser I currently have, and help this problem. We shall see what it is like when we first use it. <\/p>\n

For additional Post Shoot details, read the Momentum Shoot write up here: <\/p>\n

Overall I was quite happy with some of the Flash Band shots I obtained, which was greatly assisted by the band guys draping the whole stage and its sides in black cloth; Brilliant for Photos!<\/p>\n
