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.

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. ;)

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?

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)

This monster sucks in all my blogs from all over the place should you fancy a bit of Pete overkill.

I have a separate Twitter account, @petepump, which, if you follow, will alert you when I write a new post here or on ASH-10.com. YMMV.

Some blogs I like

Elsewhere

Like most people I spread my stuff around a bit so if this blog goes quiet I'm probably burbling away somewhere else on the Internets. Here are the places you'll most likely find me. (Be aware that how I use these spaces will change over time.)
TTV Photography
I've been taking Through the Viewfinder photos since 2006 and this is where I talk about my practice and sell prints of my work. During 2010 I'm using this as a case study to see whether I can make a living by promoting my work through my blog.
ASH-10
This is my business blog where I give advice related to the social internet and blogging. It's working so far. It also serves to keep my witterings about social media and blogging in one place meaning if you find all that stuff deathly dull you don't have to avoid it here. And if you can't get enough of me imparting my decade-ish of experience it's all in one handy spot. Win!
Twitter
This is where most of my online social life happens. Follow me and you'll know what I'm doing and what I'm thinking. Or at least what I want you know I'm doing and thinking.
Flickr
More than 7,000 photos at the last count, some of them rather good. All my photos go here before being used elsewhere and while I'm not as active socially there as I was I do pop in to the Birmingham group occasionally.
Tumblr
My Tumblr, aka the Smursh, is probably my favourite blog as it's the most pure. A scrapbook of cool stuff I find online from videos to pictures to anything at all.
Facebook
I don't use Facebook that much, but I do check in very occasionally.
Delicious
This is where I dump all the links to interesting pages I find (as opposed to videos and images which go on the Smursh). These are then syndicated to my various blogs, or not if they're not suitable. So following my Delicious isn't really necessary but using it as a tagged archive of stuff would work.

Others
Given the nature of what I do I'm always trying out new services but they tend not to stick. As a rule my activities spiral out from this blog to the above and then into other arenas.
