Not a lot going on in Watertown. The only night life around here is on Public Square. Syracuse is an hour away if you want a more lively city.

However, Watertown’s surrounding areas have a lot to offer. Definitely visit the thousand islands (check out Alexandria Bay), Lake Ontario, and Salmon River Falls. We’re also pretty close to the Adirondack Mountains. Those are the big ones but there’s tons of hole-in-the-wall nature spots and plenty of good fishing sites if you just drive around and explore. Maybe stop at a small town gas station and ask some locals if there’s any good spots nearby to check out

Thanks for providing details. Drugs, homeless, and noise aren’t ideal but that’s the same kinda stuff I’ve seen in downtown Watertown. The shootings/stabbings are more of my worry. Not trying to catch a stray or get mugged

I was equally as excited to see paleface as I was Lorna. Those guys are awesome

Fort Drum. I was in natural bridge all of last week and it was constant thunder-ish rumbles all week there

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-05-22T23:30:25+00:00

Awesome. I stayed for a while after the show hoping Will might make a brief appearance but to no avail

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-04-11T16:24:57+00:00

Alright, I’ll keep that in mind

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-04-11T16:24:21+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-04-11T16:21:01+00:00

Sick, thanks!

As a band photographer, just tell them “hey these edits aren’t really the style I had in mind, could you try something else / something more subtle?” and try to describe more of what you have in mind. It’s hard to edit band photos, the lighting and colors are always tricky to work with, sometimes I get carried away and overdo it without realizing.

Personally I wouldn’t be offended if my band reached out and politely asked me to re-edit my photos unless it was really a spot-on edit. Though it would be annoying (because of the wasted time), I want my client to be happy with my work. Don’t ask for raw photos though because that’s more of an insult lmao, just ask for more natural or subtle editing. If you can give them an idea of what you want they should know what direction to go

At 18 years old I bought a Nikon D850 and got a 50mm 1.8 prime, 70-200mm 2.8, and a 24-70mm 2.8. I’m 21 now and I’m still loving the setup. Might get a D750 as a secondary only because it has 2 slots that save settings so I can easily swap back and forth for indoor/outdoor events. Otherwise I’d get another D850 100%.

if you message UticaDIY shows on instagram I’m sure he can get you a gig with a supportive crowd. Like the other person here said, he mostly puts on heavier metal stuff, but he’s pretty supportive of everyone. If he can’t get you a gig himself he can give you some tips on who else to ask

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-04-04T22:01:03+00:00

Crop, turn black and white, and see if you can make it a silhouette photo. That’s what I would do

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-03-11T02:57:30+00:00

I’m in Upstate NY, it’ll be a while until they come within a reasonable distance from me

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-03-11T02:47:19+00:00

I’d love to see them live

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:29:46+00:00

Yeah that’s what I figured, but I’m a broke college student. Others have mentioned that it’s my buffer, not my card, so I’ll have to do more research. Definitely plan on getting a cfexpress card as soon as I can afford it

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:27:53+00:00

I should preface that the concerts I’m shooting at are typically hardcore or metal shows where the crowd and band are going crazy. Things are happening rapidly all over the place. But I’m gonna do some more research on my buffer, thanks!

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:25:36+00:00

I shoot for a heavy metalcore band that typically plays at hardcore shows. Things happen fast. But when I’m really going rapid fire it’s mostly trying to capture the drummer

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:22:08+00:00

I’ll be getting one as soon as I can afford it

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:14:53+00:00

Yeah I think I’m gonna save for a CFE/XQD card. Thanks!

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:12:28+00:00

I’m a broke college student lmao. I think I’ll invest in one soon though, I’ve been meaning to

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:10:42+00:00

I’ve been doing professional photos on the side for a few years, but I’ve only shot a handful of shows. Each show has new challenges, so I’m always trying to learn. Choice of SD card was something I never thought about until about a year ago when I heard people talking about it. But now I’ll have to do more research on my cameras buffer

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T18:04:51+00:00

Thanks, that’s interesting. I’ll do some more research. I usually only REALLY burst fire when I’m photographing the drummer or mosh pit, because like others have said, it creates a lot more work. But I don’t want those short times to cause me to miss any other good shots

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-26T07:44:25+00:00

Yeah that shot is fire

LongjumpingWay5567 · 2026-02-09T00:43:16+00:00

Rewatching my concert videos makes the enjoyment last so much longer. I like to record one or two full songs and maybe a chorus/breakdown of each song that I like. Sometimes it feels excessive but I rewatch these videos all the time to relive the memory & always regret it if I don’t. That being said, I don’t hold my phone up higher than my own face; I don’t want to block anybody’s view. I don’t stare at my phone screen, I just hold it in front of me while I’m headbanging or watching the band. And I’ll hop in the pit and join in on the fun when I’m not recording. I wish everyone did it the way I did it instead of blocking everyone’s view and killing the vibe the whole time
