21 Dec Jeremy Facknitz, The Charlie Milo Trio, Mark’s Midnight Carnival Show, Leftmore @ the Black Sheep
Last Thursday I had the opportunity to check out some local Colorado Springs music at the Black Sheep while shooting for the Denver Post Reverb. I’m far from a music critic, but if you live in the Springs you should definitely go check all these guys out, they put on a great show. If you like folk/acoustic rock, you won’t be disappointed.

Benjam Pratt also performed, however I missed his set so I’ll have to catch him next time.
You can see more photos from the night at the Denver Reverb Gallery or on my Flickr page.
A Few Notes
I’ve shot several times a the Black Sheep and the lighting there is pretty much what you would expect from a dive bar kind of place…pretty crappy (but better than the Hi-Dive up in Denver). The Black Sheep doesn’t have any constraints regarding flash but as I’ve mentioned before I prefer not to use a flash. However, during this shoot the lighting was especially horrible. Not really sure why but, WOW, it was bad. Mostly green and red…which makes me wonder if the lighting guy was trying to make a statement about christmas. Sooo, I did occasionally fire my 550EX. Can you tell which ones from above?
Technical notes:
Camera: Canon EOS 5D
Lenses: Primarily the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM, but also the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM for a couple shots
ISO: 800, 1250, 1600
F-Stop 4.0 & 2.8
Shutter speeds: anywhere from 1/15th to 1/50th depending on the lighting
