Peter Kay in Concert

This was our night out last evening watching the comedian Peter Kay. I am not a lover of comedians as such but did quite enjoy it last night. He is a observational comic really I would say so his observations on everyday life are very funny! As you can see it was a packed house & he has been in Manchester for a few weeks now & I bought the tickets almost two years ago & as he said he could have died in the meantime !!
I can't get rid of the glare in this photo without making the whole picture too dark if any one has any suggestions I would be grateful!
Pleas excuse the lack of comments last night , I am going to try & catch up now !!!
I haven't heard of Peter Kay, but obviously he must be VERY good!! What a packed house. Great shot . . in spite of the light!!

I think you'd have to use Photoshop and either 'adjust the highlights' or use layers - Picnik allows you to make highlights lighter but not darker - it's quite annoying! However, I wouldn't bother as it just gives a really nice stagey effect and I love the glow off everybody's faces! LOL that he could have died - he must be making a bomb mustn't he?!

That is a packed house Wow!

That's a huge crowd! That's good to see. I do volunteer work for the performing arts center here in Charlotte and at most of our events there has been a marked decrease in attendance due to the economic downturn. I like the lighting in this ~ very realistic. Glad you had a fun evening!

I really like the flare! But I especially like the way the screen picture of him seems to float in thin air ;)!

I'm amazed at the number of people in the audience. And I don't eally know much about Peter Kay - but he's obviously popular!

My husband is from Bolton so we have a soft spot for Peter Kay. I think this photo is great, it gives us a sense of being in such a big audience.

Pat..........I've seen the future 'garlic bread' !!!!!

You could try using the EV button to compensate for the bright light , You could also try shielding the top of the lens to try and simulate the effect of a lens hood

I always like stadium / arena shots Pat and his is good.....tut tut though... taking a recording device into a concert...lucky the stewards didn't throw you out

love this shot pat - it's a great capture of a packed house. I should imagine Peter Kay is a great show to go and see.

I quite like the glare, actually, the lights look really effective. Like the curve of crowd too.
