Took this one in Paris as the eclipse was winding down. Spanishbros, post your eclipse pics.

Is it worth to get into concert photography? I'm big into metal music and there are weekly shows in my town big and small. Also huge festivals nearby in summer. Instead of sitting on my ass at home lurking on 4chan or flickr.. should I give it a try? I have no portfolio yet so it might be best to start with smaller local bands and ask if they want some free photos. If I search for photographers in that area, they all are really mediocre, especially the post editing. I wanna become the Greg Williams of metal music. My main goal isn't money, though that would be a nice addition later on. What would suck though is if this is as oversaturated as soemthing like wedding photography. What do ya think? Anyone with experience? is it fun?

Does anyone else here take pairs of images to synthesize depth in mages?
This was taken from the Lummi Reservation looking east to Mt. Baker and the Sisters. Base was about 100 meters.

why do stock photos always have this ugly neutral, super low contrast look? does it have a name? I call it the 'unsplash look', but I don't know why this is so popular. it looks cheap and it is not eye-catching at all.
