People 50mm in the recording studio

50mm in the recording studio · 08:55 AM

Recently went with some good friends of mine to a recording session with my new M 1:1.4 50mm lens bought off this site. As I'm quite new to photography please leave any thoughts and critique that come to mind!

The only thing I might suggest is White Balance. I am not sure if you intended on achieving a warm yellow overtone, as it does have its appeal. Every lighting source has a difference temperature range (hence colour). Under standard incandescent lights if you set the White Balance to Tungsten you will prevent the yellow tone as the camera will compensate and set it reference to white based on that light source. Modern DSLR cameras provide a setting for each light source type. The Automataic White Balance generally does ok...... but not always.

I liked the photo and the studio compositions. Keep up the good work.

well done! now as a singer, I need to hear what is sounded like.

Any links to what they recorded?

Thanks guys - and to spyglass - thanks for your thoughts, I shot them in raw and was playing with the colour temp in PP, but kept the warm tone as I think it reflected how the room was at the time, and I gives some of the shots a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere.

Igilligan - You can listen to the recording here: Aviaries on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads. Hope you enjoy it!

Very Tasty....

There is only one song on the myspace site... anywhere to hear more?

Wow. Cool. The whole warmth makes it feel like the summer of love kind of shots.

Igilligan - I think they have download links of their older recordings still up on the site, if you scroll down past the discography.
