Experimental shots

Here are some shots I have taken of my cover band.
I have experimented with a few different locations and angling of shots. All these pictures have been taken with a Canon EOS 400D camera.

This shot is a low angle medium shot, Shot in the arts centre in a corridor. The shot is a good shot, it is quite natural, I have edited it on photoshop elements 6.0 by using a gradient map on the background of the image and then erasing the gradient layer over the parts where the guitar is so that it stays in colour. I then used a lense flare at the end of the guitar to create a wierd light effect.

This image was taken in a local cemetery in Darlington, the giant light behind it created a silhouette of the band. This could be used as a photograph for the double page spread or contents because it is too dark for the dominant image of the cover.
This photograph is much clearer. It was taken in a back street in Darlington. The brick wall looks quite effective. They are dressed in casual clothes but the clothes are all different colours so if i was to change this photograph i would put them in a colour scheme such as black and purple. This is a landscape picture so the format of it would not fit the cover but it could look effective in a double page spread.
