: Great pictures; they capture the atmosphere during that concert so well.
: Isn't the Paradiso that great place that hosted lots of great names during
: the past 20+ years?
It is. Sometimes it even hosts 'secret' concerts of artists that are way too big
for this small podium, like David Bowie, or The Rolling Stones who recorded some
tracks of their 'Stripped' album at the Paradiso in 1995.
: How did you get a photo permission?
The big advantages of concerts in small clubs like Paradiso
(http://www.paradiso.nl/) and Melkweg (http://www.melkweg.nl/home.htm) is that
usually photography is allowed and it's easy to reach the front row.
: How satisfied are you with FujiPress? I am mostly using Superia 800 for
concert
: photography, and the new 4-layer version works pretty well.
I'll compare both films someday. I wouldn't be surprised if the Press handles
push
processing a bit better...
: A problem I often face is that the black background does not come out as real
black
: on the negatives. I solve that by adjusting the curves, thereby I get an
undisturbing
: background, but I loose some density.
In VueScan I select either night exposure or a brightness of 0.8 if the
background
is really dark and the autoexposure fails.
: Your photos also show quite an amount of grain. Any means to handle that?
I think the most grainy ones were a bit underexposed.
: Finally a kindly advice: rather limit the amount of pictures to the best
shots,
: especially in a portfolio. This is not easy, in particular if your number of
good
: frames is that high.
I already did, considering that I shot 3 1/5 rolls... ;)
