"No One Lives Forever" – shooting the dark

Jul 17, 2024

The lighting was quite effective in the live performance of "No One Lives Forever" – but the camera is not the human eye/brain combination. Darkened stage, deep blue lighting, precious. The intro image was, again, far back in the right hand corner – a little overly bright. Everything else was dim-lit for effect – my camera picked up more than I did watching. As far off as the two images below are from catching the mood, the color exposures were way, way off. Interesting how ehile when live one’s eye does not concentrate on the blue, the camera lens seems unable to obsess over anything else… 

These files were sheer torture to work with… butI do love Bre reacting to James in the first shot.
