JPG: Stories: Photo Essay: I Feel You

I Feel You

By Alice

9 Nov 2009

My gigs' pictures are still so bad, I have to improve a lot but I also wanna have pleasant memories of the past events I've been to.

So trying again and again to post process some shots I end up with a result I like increasing excessively contrast. I don't like digital alteration and always set my camera before taking pictures according to get colours and mood and impressions I have in mind. But I never go to gigs with my reflex and never will as far as I wanna stay in front row, if I did I've already broken it! I use an old Canon A700 PowerShot which has a bad resolution and not a great range of settings. I know it's not the camera's fault if I'm not a good photographer! Let's say the camera I use doesn't help me to improve.

So, even though my personal rule is to learn how to get the picture I see in my head and not to learn how to change a picture already taken to fits an idea, I made an exception. Here are my results!

Looks to me that you met your goals by photographing feelings rather than objects.
