Back to the South Sea for Deadfest and some more metal! I found this evening much tougher to get good looking photographs than the previous night. Possibly because the venue was a bit more crowded, but probably not. Either way, I managed to pull out more photos than expecting, but over all I’m less happy […]
Not much to do on Sunday night, and after feeling a little rejuvenated from taking the Fallen Mafia pictures the other day, I spotted that there was an event on at The South Sea up in Broomhill and though I’d go for a wander up. These guys were all LOUD. I was wearing plugs, but […]
I took these at the end of last year, but the lack of any significant lighting at The Hop prevented me really doing much with them. After sorting out the photos from Friday evening, I decided to tidy them up and upload them anyway. I’m a bit more happy with them, but the lack of […]
Easter Bank Holiday is upon me and I had NOTHING to do, so considered going out clubbing. Then I realised that Resistenz festival was on at Corp which kinda scuppered that plan. While moaning about this on Facebook, Kev from Newcastle pointed out that a band he thought were good were playing The Dove and […]
Adam of Opinicus, hearing that I was taking some shots of Exit Strategy One at Corporation on Friday night offered me a photo pass to come and take pictures of their gig the following night, this time on the large stage. I couldn’t really turn this one down, having the opportunity to get behind the […]
Exit Strategy One, who were really happy with the couple of shots I got at them last year at West Street Live decided they’d like a few more photographs in exchange for free entry and a couple of beers. Always up for a free gig, beer and an opportunity to practice with the camera I […]
Eight Deadly Words playing a Halloween gig at The Dove and Rainbow in Sheffield. Lighting was better here than at the last venue I photographed them, but the right hand of the stage was very dark meaning it was hard to get any decent shots of Carlo and Aiden. An awful lot of shots of […]
Live at West Street Live on Sunday the 9th of October, 2011. – Eight Deadly Words – Exit Strategy One – Fight The Bear – (plus someone I missed) The lighting here isn’t great, although improved from the last I was here. This resulted in an awful lot of overly dark and/or blurry motion shots. […]
My first ever attempt at live gig photography, Mourning For Autumn. West Street Live isn’t a great venue for taking shots. It’s pretty dark in there, with really only one light over the centre of the stage which you can see illuminating the front man in these shots. I was also using the stock lens […]
