Chico Band Photography- A for A @ Paradise Lost

I was supposed to have these images up days ago. I took these prolly about 2 weeks ago for the band Armed for Apocalypse. They were playing at a small venue called Paradise Lost. This place is mainly for the hard core rock fans. Small and Loud. But a lot of fun.

I shot these Images at 3200ISO. I know that there is noise. BUT, Baby, they are so amazing. My new camera can hold detail at 3200 ISO. How awesome is that!!!

Same as before be sure and check out these guys music.

Chico Photography- Model Session- Steph with a different look

Here are some more from last Friday with the lovely Stephanie. After we got kicked out of the welding shop a few of us went down to the fire academy, "burn building", and took pictures. It was so windy we only shot for about half an hour. Here are a few of the images I got of her in this brief windy shoot.

Again, Everyone, this is Stephanie...

Chico Photography- Model Session- Hot Stephanie

So this last Friday was an AMAZING photo shoot, with the Friday studio class out at Butte College. How this shoot went was, RickyD brought out his gorgeous custom motorcycle. We decided to shoot in the welding shop with the studio lights and power packs. And grabbed two of the welding students and got them to shoot sparks up behind Stephanie. This set up was so HOT, that Michael actually wanted to take pictures. Those that know Michael, knows that he never wants to take pictures. So since he was the lead photographer, Stephanie was mostly looking into his camera, and the lights would sync with his camera. My goal as a shooter, in hopes to get one good shot, was shoot as fast as I could, just so I could get one maybe two images that were taken at the same time that the lights flashed. And so here you have it.

I wanted to show the before and after on this image, just to show how far I took it. Please if anyone has any constructive criticism fire away. I am still not sure if I am fully happy with the enhancements.

So here it is... Everyone, meet Stephanie....
