MSOC Easter Concert ~ Part 3

 ...As soon as the lights went down and the choir came on the photos I took from then on were completely transformed by the lighting and how I worked with the lights and angles my camera towards  them with the singers harmonising in between. Quite a few of my light angling pictures came out as silhouettes or pitch black ( i.e. too much light!) but when I got it just right there were some really good ones rich in colour. Below are a few of my favourites that helps sum the concert and my final post covering the MSOC Easter concert

 - Enjoy!

- The Concert -

 In this photo I was just quick enough to catch a little 'audience participation'!

Being in a choir looks pretty fun :)

MSOC Easter Concert ~ Part 2

Behind the scenes

After the market this was one of the earliest picture I took of the concert, it seemed weird being in such a large space when it was empty. I would have taken more picture but I soon got told to go back to work and get some behind the scenes shots of the choir and musicians before they went on.

Big Joe :)

................not so empty now!

MSOC Easter Concert ~ Part 1

Over Easter I got my chance to be more involved with photography professionally at Manchester Sing Out Choir's annual Easter concert :D

I took well over 300 photo's that night and it's taken me some time to cut it down to a bloggable number since I've been back at uni - but here it is! There were quite a few things that were different from last years concert - starting with 'The Market'...

The Market had been set up to showcase different talents and businesses from the surrounding area from fashion students and jewellers to artists and florists. It was the first thing the audience saw when they got to the concert and all these bright colours, smells and bubbly sellers were completely different to the miserable weather outside.
