There are colored lights in the background that are blown out, but the area illuminated by them isn't blown out. The audience is illuminated by the stage lights, giving them a magenta cast. But, it might be fun to use strings of colored in the background of a portrait, particularly if they are far enough back to be out of focus. > > > On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 1:06 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: >> A friend and I went to see a couple of bands at a local club last night.
