About the Image(s)
During a visit to Florida - we attended an outdoor Beatles tribute concert. Near the end of the concert - they asked audience members to light up their cell phones to simulate what people used to do with their cigarette lighters. I tried to capture the scene with my iphone, but none of the individual frames captured the bright animation. I combined three frames into one image.
Adjusted the lighting with LR mobile.

Hi Steven,
The combination of 3 images into the final one created halos around objects, multiple exposures and a ghost effect to people on the scene which are a bit distracting.
I think that the Original #3 image captured well the audience with lit up phones. I'd suggest to use the #3, and to crop tighter the left side and the 1st bottom row of the frame to get the bright animation since the music band was facing the audience on the right side and there were more activities from those people there.

Thank you! I agree with you - what I did created something unnatural; where we can see instances of three lit phones (agree distracting) - without the motion blur that I was looking for. Posted: 03/08/2025 07:48:04
I agree with Kieu-Hanh, Steven, the third one probably catches the scene the best, good idea on the composite though. You've captured a moment in time, a story. Posted: 03/09/2025 17:52:26
Howdy, Steven, I agree with Kieu-Hanh also. I admire your thought/ work on putting all of it together. Posted: 03/10/2025 12:51:04
I looked at this and thought "The Villages." Not sure if that's where this is in Florida, but it has that vibe. I agree with the others that original #3 is the photo that I find most appealing. But good for you for trying to get a photo reminiscent of the old days of concerts. Posted: 03/12/2025 21:26:29
Not The Villages - but the vibe could probably be captured in so many FLA communities. Posted: 03/25/2025 18:40:10
