Baton Rouge Symphony Opening Night Gala (photo heavy - color & B/W images)

[theantiquetiger]

If you don't remember, I did a couple free photo shoots for the symphony, mostly for practice and to get my name out there. Well, it worked, they hired me to shoot their Opening Night Gala and the Opening Night concert.

They wanted me to do a "Step & Repeat" shoot, which caused me to miss the cocktail hour party. I should have brought my cheap Canon T1i and mounted it, used it for the Step & Repeat, while using my 5Diii for the cocktail party.

I had to go black and white for the concert because the the background was mostly orange, overpowering the image.

the concert was also a difficult shoot because of the limited places I could shoot from (just off stage, behind the audience, etc). It is the same place where I shoot my daughters' dance recitals every year.

I still have a lot of images to process from the concert.
