Bruce Springsteen

Oriel

I was shooting at the Bruce gig at the weekend.
All the photographers were all 100ft away from the stage due to Springsteen's stage setup.

Is that the drummer from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno?

Great pics.

Yes it's Max Weinberg, he's Leno's band leader.

Nice shots! Are the B+W a little underexposed? I love the one of Bruce and Steve, very reminiscent of his '75 tour. I'm very envious of you. He's one of my favourites. 4,7 and 8 are great.

I'd have to agree with Paul, love 4, 7 and 8, especially 4 and 7. Sil from Sopranos also plays guitar with Bruce.

Really good shots Oriel considering how far away you were. Same as the 2 lads, 4,7 and 8 are good.

Sorry to be a pedant, but he's actually the band leader on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Back on topic now :

I like pictures four and eight in particular, seem to really bring out the mood of the concert for me.

Cool shots.
I think I prefer the colour ones more than the black and whites.

Considering the distance they're all pretty good.

1, 4 , 6 and 8 are excellent -- prefer them to the George Michael shots --

but you post too many in the thread -- but really like the above

Excellent shots, seen something up on Photography on the net looking for somebody to shoot Bruce on stage (not literally!:))

Yes (Conan's), and the guy with the bandana is Sylvio from the Sopranos.

Oh woeva

Oriel, did you get any of Clarence the sax player?

Oriel

Thanks all.
TelePaul, I might have done, yeah - but none would have been used/printed.

Nice stuff Stephen - and whats more at 100ft distance.

Absolutely love the wide perspective / panaroma this one -



This one reminds me so much of the Live 75 - 85 album art work (anyone else think so?)



Some - not surprising given the distance involved; are somewhat soft and presumably had challenging lighting but heck, they really are very nice indeed. Well done.

Just a Qs about your processing - how did you convert them to B&W? Im looking for an effective method for a few i want to convert. Have been making duplicate layers, playing with hue/saturation and merging them but your blacks look a bit more vibrant?
