i got to the modest mouse gig quite early and managed to get a spot right at the front by the barrier. it was the right of stage and i was trying to work out who i was going to be standing in front of. i couldn't believe it when they came on and the lead singer, isaac brook, took up his position right in front of me. i was so close that i could even use my flash, which as gigs usually only illuminate the back of someones head. of course the flipside of this was that i didn't think about the possibility of red eye. i tried to get rid of it in photoshop but i wasn't happy with any of my attempts - they all looked too obvious. so i went the other way and increased the saturation even more. you can compare this to the original out of the camera.
