Saw Justice two times in Paris last week, which makes it four times this year^[1]. While my spot for the first Paris show was not great (literally the highest, furthest from the stage), I had a much better spot the night after.

Like in September at Portola, I managed to get a pretty good spot on the floor, which netted me some pretty good shots, despite not taking nearly as many as I did back then. I also lucked out and managed to get high-fives from both Xavier and Gaspard (I missed both last time lol) so I still feel pretty good about that lmao.

Like last time, all of these are shot on my iPhone 13 Pro using Halide in "Process Zero RAW" with only exposure and contrasts being adjusted after the fact.

Well, it turns out I was pretty lucky because Justice's show last night (September 29th) was a very very good one in terms of pictures! I got literally as close as one could realistically be, even if I was slightly off center!

As I got out of the show, I was pretty worried because Justice's light setup made it much, much harder to get consistently good shots. Don't get me wrong, those very quick color changes in the lights look amazing in person, but they are challenging to shoot with a smartphone.

But I think I managed to get some pretty damn good pictures given the situation. Like those taken during Gesaffelstein's performance, all of them were shot with Halide and in RAW with "Process Zero" enabled. The only adjustments I made (if any) are cropping and slight tweaks to the exposure/contrast.

Everything else is straight out of the iPhone 13 Pro's camera system. Which, for some of them, is outstanding to see, honestly. As always, click the thumbnails to get the JPEG at 100% quality.
