Last week, I had a nice opportunity to test out my brand-new DSLR camera — a Nikon D5000 — in a more difficult setting: a Brothers Past concert at Brooklyn Bowl. Although I’m still getting the hang of the thing, I was able to grab a few decent shots.

If you want the full round-up of the show (with setlist and video), head on over to Live Music Blog. Otherwise, check out a few of my favorite shots below…

Not bad for my first attempt, eh?

Head on over to my flickr page, if you want to check out the full photo set.

I’ve been toying around with a few image-editing programs. I just downloaded/installed GIMP (aka GNU Image Manipulation Program), which seems to be the closest open-source program you can get to Photoshop. It’s very cool and quite robust. I’m a total novice with this stuff, but I think I managed to put together a decent photo collage of some favorite (mainly) concert photos:

It’s just a draft so it’s a bit rough around the edges. But I think I kinda like it that way. In fact, I decided that this should be my new twitter background.
