The music group at my school got mayday parade to come yesterday. Not my taste in music, because i'm not a 15 year old girl, but I had a chance to take their photos during the show. Here are a few i decided to upload. What do you think? First time by the way..

Shot on canon 7D, 17-50mm 2.8

maybe the venue you shot them at? you could talk to them and see if they would be interested. won't hurt to ask.

and i like the pics a lot by the way. i filmed my first concert a couple weeks ago. its fun stuff

hahah in that case, get a hold of the band. Since they're playing at a high school i doubt any blogs would be into them and i doubt they'll have any money to give you for them, why not let the dudes just have the pictures

really sick man! like them a lot

favorite: 2nd, I really liked the lighting added to the energy of "jumping"

Weakest: imo wasn't a fan of the distance, i think zoomed in a little couldve made it better


overall these are all dope man!

good idea.

it wasn't at a high school though, it was at my college. maybe that makes a difference. maybe not.

maybe talk to whoever put on the event? like i know we have a student organization that puts on lots of stuff here and they always make flyers and posters to stick everywhere so maybe talk to them?
