Shooting at jazz concerts. Part IV: at homeIn the first three parts of this article I wrote some hints about the correct behavior of a live concert photographer, the settings of their camera and a way of managing the shoot. This fourth, originally unplanned part, introduces a tutorial I wrote about the work to do at home, that is post processing the photographs to get the most out of them.
So, the show is over, you are back home again, checking the pics you just downloaded to your pc. You realize you've taken the best shots ever, but... Yes, there's a "but". With those damn concert photographs, there's always a "but".
Some are a bit blurred... singers never stand still, drummers les
Shooting at jazz concerts. Part II: at workIn the first two articles of this news we learned a number of things about the correct behavior of a live concert photographer and the settings of their camera. In this last part I will give you clues about what you should consider and pay attention to while shooting.

Basically, the whole thing goes through the usual pattern of trial and error, at least until your experience will suggest settings good enough to take successful shots from the beginning.
Now, let's examine how to set some of the most useful features of the camera.

Shooting at jazz concerts. Part I: an introductionThis piece of news has the goal to share my little experience in this field, and it is divided in three parts. This first article addresses a number of technique and behaviour related introductory issues. In the second part, which I plan to post within a week or two, I will discuss several more specific technical issues to find some adequate settings for the camera. The third (and last) part, which will be online one or two more weeks later, will be focused on the approach to the hard work of shooting.
The premise is, though, that a good camera is needed to take powerful shots at concerts. Often, compact digital cameras just lack the capabil
