Really nice light in all of those shots - your did well with the back
lighting. Great compositions as well.

Dropped into a little indie restaurant & cafe in Toronto's Junction
Saturday afternoon for some music and an early dinner.
I haven't been shooting live music gigs much lately, but this place
challenged me. On my previous visit I could see that the musicians
played in some pretty difficult light: squeezed into a nook in the
front window with powerful north-facing backlight, a view onto parked
cars, a cluttered sidewalk and an intersection, and very low inside
tungsten light. I tried a smartphone shot and the results were
unusable, as you'd expect.
So here's what I managed this time with this little jazz & blues duo,
Fraser Melvin and Indira Nanavati Cadena. Sitting at the closest table
to them along the wall, I over-exposed by a stop or so in Av mode and
blew out the ugly street view.
K-3, DA* 50-135/2.8, ISO 800. Some shots at f:2.8 (closeups), some at
f:5.6 & f:8 (the duo). A touch of adjustments in Lightroom, but
basically sooc for most. One portrait of Indira I retouched more
completely and one I did as b&w.
