Feel free to post your own (inc 70-200mm etc)
Local band down the road more a rock type thing, quite good though
I forgot I left the A99 on jpegs! Need not have worried as the DR is still good - very harsh lighting

Extreme crop at 200mm F2.8 the resolution is ridiculously good! Having used the Tamron G2 70-200mm F2.8 it's nowhere near this detailed wide open!

Forgot the bass player! No bass no band underappreciated I think ;-D

That is a "no sweat" workout, Barry. :lol:
Love the shots. If I may ask, what is your B&W conversion work flow?

Quite simple really I tend to push up the skin tones so they are not muddy (obviously only applies to lighter skin types), push the blacks down -though not too much (time and place for high contrast mono), bit more contrast not too much in this case.
I can't stand dull mono and with wishy washy black and white for most shots it just looks not very nice. Once in a while I do like higher contrast with very deep blacks, not always though.
