The Steep Canyon Rangers

 Here are the last few photos from my night with the Steep Canyon Rangers - both photos feature percussionist Mike Ashworth at sound check and a close up taken during the concert.

Thanks to the Steep Canyon Rangers for allowing me to carry out the assignment and to Name Dropping Productions for asking me along!

We're almost done with this short collection of photos taken at the Steep Canyon Rangers concert; these shots of banjo player Graham Sharp were taken during sound check.

Come back to my blog on Monday for the photos that will close out the series.

Lest you think I photographed the entire concert in black and white, heres a colour photo of lead singer Woody Platt.  Controlling the depth of field allows him to stay in sharp focus while the near and far elements of he photo are blurred.

I shot part of this assignment on film cuz it just seemed like the right thing to do.  This photo of Mike Guggino was taken during sound check.  Canon 650 camera with Sigma 150-500 lens.  Ilford Delta 400 professional film.  The negative was scanned at 28" x 42" @72 dpi.  No post editing whatsover.

This is my hands down favourite photo from my night with the Steep Canyon Rangers.  Percussionist Mike Ashworth was - unbeknownst to him I think - playing to the camera all night long.

I think this might be one of the best photos I've ever taken - very pleased with this one.

One of my goals for this assignment was to get a series of black and white portraits of each of the band members.  There are six members of the Steep Canyon Rangers - the percussionist was giving me all sorts of great opportunities; for his portrait check back on Monday!

These photos were made with the Canon 1Dx and my Sigma 150-500 lens.  Black and white RAW file conversion made with Nik Silver Efex Pro software.
