Interesting musical stuff this weekend - mostly Halloween themed -
Friday night several acts at a single venue -
LED stage lighting - with a lot of magenta -
this has -1.3 stop comp fill-flash supplementing my usual "P" setting
ISO2500; f/4; 1/25; 18mm; -1.3 stop flash comp
No flash - as-is on next 2 shots
The featured singer with the main band I only knew as Molly - taken photos of her before -
all her shots were in red LED light with a touch of blue -
almost impossible to get nice clear photo because of the overwhelming colored wash.
Had to use PDCU and grey point selection to remove the color cast -
work on the "neutral" photo
the re-add red and touch of magenta to get them back to what they looked like.

Turns out she is Molly Harvey of
the Residents.
Both shots have EXIF attached - the thumbnails show the photos
AFTER I had stripped the red/magenta color.
Saturday - Halloween party -
This is Swami - who is also a well known artist - he's doing some of the current official
Furthur tour posters -
(that's the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh and Bob Weir band)
This was fluorescent yellow paint under UV lighting -
I am not too sure if there was such prominent red -
but when I did an auto level in Ulead PhotoImpact 8 the red was revealed.
Even then I had to save it from PhotoShop Elements 7 using lower compression to preserve the colors.
The stage lighting was a simple projector light with a rotating patterned/colored disc in front of it -
so the pattern would go on not only the back drop (a white painted trampoline) - but the artists as well -
so I had to wait for the right gap in the rotating patterns/colors to take photos.
Last stop Saturday night -
very magenta and blue..... I didn't strip the colors using PDCU - but reduced saturation and added green.
Might not seem quite as effective as the PDCU strip technique but this actually turned out better to my eyes -

pretty obvious flash supplemented shot -
but for some reason this almost looks 3-D to me.
Thought this shot came out particularly well -
as-is - with very little pp
