Thought I would share a few shots from the Shrewsbury Folk Festival over the weekend:

The Peatbog Faeries





The Rod Picott Band







Three Peaks



Any comments welcome

You've managed to capture some great detail in that light ...did you have to adjust WB via RAW shots, as the skin tones seem very impressive under those lighting conditions ?

Cracking set of shots

[Charlotte]

Excellent work

[gsgary]

Great shots , which lens did you use ?

[Angela]

Very nice set Steve! And pin sharp...very impressive!

[Steve]

Yup very impressive. To get so much detail and keep the skin tones looking natural under artificial lighting is nothing short of brilliant.

Hi Dave I did shoot them in RAW but the files had very little white balance adjustment. The one that had the most, from memory, is the last one of the Rod Picott band which did look wrong on the original. I spent a little more time on that one to get the skin tones looking about right.

All of these were taken with the Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS USM. I had to switch the ISO to either 800 or 1600 depending on the probable movement of the subjects as f/4 isn't ideal for those lighting conditions. The 2nd and last of the band shots were ISO-1600 with the others at ISO-800.

Thanks for the positive comments, much appreciated
