I hate music.... but this lot look ok.

Mind you:

I think the bass player has too many strings, and the drummer (even though he'd like us to think otherwise) plays jazz (look at the grip). And as for a white Strat

.... sorry, you mean the photos don't you!

Bloody good job mate, although I think the sangria might have got to you by the final frame.

BTW did you take the overhead of the kit just before you landed on top of it?

Love the close up of the bass player. Nice to see them sweat.

Well you've vcertainly used some different angles ! How well do you know the members of the band, the drummer in particular ?!! Anyway for your homework tonight cut out the guitarist from image no. 2 and stick him on the background formed by no. 8. For bonus marks don't have the guitarist at 100% opacity all the way from top to bottom...

I went to thier gig the night before, and when they'd finished I waltzed straight up and said "Hi guys, I'm a photographer, do you want some top quality photos for nothing?" How could they say no?

The drummer? I just held the 12-24 over his head a shot at arms length.

As for the PS trickery...err...maybe another time, when I move past levels and unsharp mask

Martin.

PS - all shots except the last are at ISO 800 and no noise reduction, I was impressed.

Monkey Tennis? That was an idea for a show that Alan Partridge had when he was trying to sell ideas to the BBC controller.

These look really good, I'm sure the band will be very pleased!

Just about the only time it's ok to wear sunglasses at night!
