Luis, thanks. This was one of those situation where I new exactly how I
was going to adjust the shots. I'd discussed the shoot with the band and
we'd all agreed that the results would be in b&w - or as they described
it "dirty bad assed rock 'n' roll" :-)

Asunto: [Leica] So there I was sat in a bar when the rock group came
overfor a chat...

A group of four came up to me in the pub and asked if I was a
photographer. I have some photographs on the walls that I did for the
landlord which is why they probably thought I was one. They were looking
for someone to take a few snaps for their website and I agreed. Some of
the results are here...

The funny thing was the way they adopted their 'poses' as soon as the
camera went to my eye. I now realise how useful a whip and a lion
tamer's chair would have been to keep them under control :-)

Praise, brickbats, votes all welcome.

The band are called Attica by the way and play jolly loudly!

Camera was a Canon 20D with various Canon lenses. I used the Fred
Miranda plugin to convert to b&w with a blue filter to darken the skin
tones and the brick background.
