Some really nice photos of Misty’s Big Adventure live. Speaking as someone who knows how tricky this game is, I shall be keeping tabs on this Jon Appleyard fellow.

About this site
In June 2000 I started blogging at peteashton.com and 10 years later in June 2010 I decided to stop. Blogging here, that is. I started a clean slate over on I Am Pete Ashton and maintain all manner of other web presences which are all listed here along with my contact details.
You probably came here via a Google search or from following a link on some old blog post somewhere. I hope what you find is useful in some way, though do check the publication date - it might be rather old now.
Thanks for your eyeballs.

He’s done something interesting post-processing, no?
Did I ever mention I am in love with the sexy trumpet-playing lady?
Looks like a pretty basic sepia job but using it for gig photos in quite intriguing. I may have to copy that.
And no, you didn’t, but I’m not surprised.
Hey guys don’t think i used any sepia effects or any post processing on those shots. Which on you thinking of?
I guess the lights were kinda odd at that venue or something. To the untrained eye it looks like you did the “Hue/Saturation – Colorize” mojo on them in Photoshop. Not that that’s a bad thing, you understand. ;)
heh. that’s flash.
oops. forgot to add my name to above post.
To reiterate – the lighting is just from my flash.
Oh, right. Is there a filter on it?
(eeeenterrrresteeeng…)
No filter at all. Shooting with a manual Vivitar flash (think it’s about 30 years old). Shooting in manual. probably 100th. bouncing. iso 200-400 (probably). Shot in raw. exposure dropped some stops, brightness/contrast ramped.
Just used my new i-ttl enabled sigma flash last night. Uploading in a few mins. Check out the results on my flickr.
I reckon it’s the bouncing that does it. Ceilings in gigs aren’t usually bright white. I’m gonna have to try this myself.
Thanks for all the info!
Uploading last nights first set now. Ceiling was white at the gig last night, except for a black band down the middle.
Case closed, methinks.
(Nice photos, btw)
