Alin Coen Band – Bochum Total 2011
Posted by Daniel at 1. August 2011 | Category Festival, Live, Photography, Pictures
I was actually already on my way back to my car, when I decided to take a quick detour and shoot a couple of quick frames of the Alin Coen Band. In the end I stayed for the rest of the gig… it was fantastic. The Band was so much fun to watch – combined with beautiful Songs and a stagepressence that can only be described as exhilarating, the show was the one of the weekends highlights. I can only advice anybody to check them out at alincoen.com.
Shooting Notes
Coming up to the WAZ-Stage I decided beforehand that I wanted to shoot the whole gig with my Sigma 50mm f1.4. Even though that meant a lot more images would be out of focus to do the narrow depth of field then normal and the fixed focal lens would require a lot more work to get the framing right, but I really wanted to take advantage of the wide open aperture. It just makes so much more fun when you can easily shot between ISO 200-400 and a shutter speed of 1/400 of a second. Do to the small stage, the 50mm on a crop sensor proved to be a bit too long and full body shots required me to get to the far edges of the photopit. Nonetheless I got rewarded with some fantastic Images and even though zoom lenses are so much more convenient, I would use nothing else then primes if I could.
