Baton Rouge Symphony Opening Night Gala (photo heavy - color & B/W images)

Due to the stage lighting, some of the shots on stage appear to have the highlights blown out (or close too). I suspect a slight adjustment to the highlights slider in LR will recover some of the lost highlight detail

You should have seen them before I did exactly what you said, they were very blown out. All images have been submitted to the customer, but if they say something, I will adjust.

Thanks for the input & critique, I want them all day long.

Strong set AT - They should be happy - nice variety here. How nervous were you?

My fave is (leaning piano player) 96. Fab gesture.

I also really like the toast shot (40) though I might try cropping left (to lose the bright windows and empty seat, and then up top to even out the proportions).

Well done.

How nervous were you?

Not too nervous. It's my third time shooting with them plus I have shot the venue many times. I was more nervous shooting the "Step & Repeat" more than anything because I don't do portraits very well.

I had my flash off camera with wireless trigger and a large flash defuser, it worked well.

You did an excellent job. I'm sure they really liked the pics. Well done.
I definitely like all the BW pics.
