I need to experiment more. I'm not going to get very far by taking perfectly lined up shots with a nice bokeh. So to that end I went out the past few nights to experiment. Different angles, different flash tests and so on. This is what I got.

I like this concept that they are projecting a sound, their music sorta thing.

I remembered that you shouldn't set the shutter speed to less than your focal length. For most gigs I use about 1/50 since I want to capture nice sharp people. But this time I decided to try my 10-20 lens @ 10mm and use 1/10th. Sure you get motion blur, but you can also allow more light into the shot, which is handy.

An attempt at a funky angle. I never normally do this style, but I need to try it out.

Some good shots pete, i have a few comments:

The first shot, concept is great, but execution for me is poor - i think the zoom style is great but only when the subject is sharp in the frame, this one isnt so doenst quite do it.

Yer I know what you mean, but its oh so hard to pull off. Still doesn't stop me trying :)

Projecting the sound - interesting idea buit it does nothing for me.

Oh well :)

The different angles work really well, i like them

Cool. I wasn't really sure, but I've got a bit of positive feedback from them so I shall continue to try out that style.

The last few shots are great, the last one inparticular really works well. (cept for his slightly freeky eyes!)

His eyes look worse on other shots :)
