Available light.Equipment
This was shot hand held using a Sony a6500 with 18~135mm 3.5~5.6 lens. 1/400 sec @ f 7.1, ISO 500. 20mmInspiration
This was a new lens for me at the time, the music festival gave me a good opportunity to give it a good work out. This photo features Summer Dean, Anthony Ray Wright and Bonnie Montgomery. The sky made a great background for the performers.Editing
This was converted to black and white in Lightroom with a slight crop.In my camera bag
The Sony a6500 with the 18~135 is my go to combo for a light weight camera. I also use the Sony A7 II for full frame with 12~24 f4, 24~70 f4 and 70~200 f4 all Sony. My pocket camera is the Sony RX100 IV.Feedback
If the venue allows it get in close and wide. Work the subject form as many angles as possible. I especially like this low angle with the church steeple in the center.
