Your Unmarked Grave II
Okay, I had planned to save this one for my website update, but **** that. No one visits my website anyways!
I think this is my favourite from the shoot I had with Your Unmarked Grave yesterday.
Please give me some feedback on this one. Really stoked on it considering it's my first real band shoot
Check them out at www.myspace.com/yourunmarkedgrave
Nikon D700 with Sigma 24-70 f/2.8.

I love this. Knocks spots off the first one - and I am sure the band will love it too. Excellent work!

I much prefer this one.
Wasn't the first one 50mm ???
Asume you're at the wider end with 24-70 with this - the low angle and the perspective make it quite striking. Lighting is great as ever.

I think it's great too 
As it's a band shoot, I would consider cropping in more, so the main focus is the band - there are a few elements there which work great in the picture but do draw you away from the band. Ie the building top right and grass btm left. But it still works - just depends on what you want from the image.

I have to agree to disagree slightly withy ou there Azz - I feel that (certainly for me) the beams and the grasses draw me into the picture and then to the band - my eye doesn't wander with it at all!
I do see what you're saying though, and it could be interesting to see a closer crop.

Usually the marketing (and ego!) of bands is to make them the focus of attention 
really does depend on what the creative director wants to achieve with the image.
One thing I forgot to say earlier - Tommy, you come up with some great locations!

I like the composition, but I agree with Azz to a degree. I would certainly consider losing the building on the right hand side and cropping the first top beam to give a tighter shot of the band. Personally I think the grass on the LH side works...
Great location to find snow this time of year

Thanks guys!
But I must say I completely disagree with you on the cropping. On this wide angle shot I wanted to show off that great, somewhat unique location. I'm going to upload a couple more shots later today or tomorrow
