One of my BEST LIVE concert shots ever

This image was captured during SXSW in Austin Texas of the band SINAI. As you will hear in the video the lighting was not the best for the opening act which caused me to shoot the Nikon D3s at 8000 ISO.

What may surprise you during my editing of this photo is that I actually use fill light to its full potential to make my image pop even more.

This image is what I would consider to be a classic black and white concert shot. It is one of the best that I have captured since i have been shooting live show. There is just something about the tones and moment that was captured that draws me in.

Do you use fill light when you are editing?
