Composite image
This is a concert photo consisting of two composite images. The first focus point is on the guitarist’s fingertip, the next on his face. Both images had shallow depth (DOF), taken at f/2.8. As you can see, the hand behind the finger is out of focus, so this image is obviously manipulated with it’s “dual DOF”.

Thanks to guitarist Stian for giving me 2-3 seconds to do some refocusing! More images from this concert at my Flickr-stream.

HDR in concert photography?
This is the closest I could get, and my only try. You can’t see the band either, so I guess it’s a “fail”. The photo is composed by two images, hand held, taken with high speed bracketing. Some movement can be seen. I’ll try to make a tone mapped photo of an artist on stage this summer.

I’m not a big fan of “HDR” and tone mapping, especially if you can see tone mapping has been used. You should read the article Cooking Vegetables by Mike Johnston.
Later I will post another “cheat”, a composite concert photo to show greater DOF.

New blog name, twitter plugin
Changing the name of my blog from High Volume and Large Aperture to my name Espen Stranger Seland. It’s a blog, but it’s also my only homepage for the time, so I thought my real name would be better.
But, I really posted this to test the twitter update plugin I just installed!
