The Great Machine band celebrating their third Album launch - "Respect" - this time series of Black and White images from the live performance last weekend.
Around 3 years i follow the activity of this band and every single event they manage to wonder and to impress me and all the fans with their creativity and crazy vibes of the stable high quality music.
available on Bandcamp
you will love this mix of Desert/Doom/Stoner/Hardrock/Blues !
For this series i used as usual for the music performance shoots my 5dmkii digital camera and Canon 50mm 1.4 lens - on of my favorite lenses for the extreme light conditions photography when i have to manage fast focusing and immediately shooting. I love the beautiful bulbs of the bokeh that lens creates, and even mostly i use Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art for this kind of 'night" photography because of wider angle and much more environment of the stage i can include to my frames, but you can compare the bokeh of these lenses. Plus a focusing speed - the Canon's one is faster - nothing to do.
Some time ago i tried another Canon lens for this - 24-70 2.8, but 2.8 is to low and even 24mm bring me even more not too distorted environment - the results taken with the last looks too boring for me.
So i prefer to stay with prime lens, and to use my legs for zooming process but to have much more interesting, crispy and dreamy results.
