I tried to capture this awesome band, The Sand People, with a cheap digital camera at a bar in San Francisco – a beautiful city I was fortunate enough to visit recently whilst on holiday. Trying, and failing I think, to capture it in a black and white Charles Peterson style, a style reminiscent of the punk rock/alternative/grunge era of the 80’s and early 90’s, predominately in the north western United States of America. It is period of music of which I am very fond of – probably no surprise to readers of this site!
The photographs definitely have the swirls of movement, indicating the music and the activity of producing music itself, but lack the clarity and the outline detail of the musicians themselves. Still, it is interesting to try different techniques, even if it is with a cheap digital camera as opposed to my slightly cheaper film camera!
If the photographs are reproduced, please credit the author of this blog as the photographer.
Cheap and old digital cameras are a lot of fun, you get a much different “artistic” creation than you would from a newer camera.
This is true! I’m looking forward to exploring around…
