Noah and The Whale played to a packed Engine Shed, one that contained a very mixed crowd. It was easy to see some had heard "that song" on the radio and decided to come hear it live but overall it was a good crowd and Noah & The Whale got a loud (complete with extra teen girl shrieking) reaction throughout.

PHOTO NOTES

 

This was challenging to shoot. Bombay Bicycle Club was was hard to shoot in terms of lighting, but to me this show was a lot worse. There were glimpses of clean light, but they were fleeting. A lot of strobing lights, but the pattern never seemed to repeat meaning trying to make exposures was difficult. Couple this wit common cuts to just backlighting, heavy red in parts and no discerneable pattern to the lighting meant this was really hard to shoot. It sounds like I hated it, but in fact I enjoyed myself and the lighting challenges made it all worthwhile when I got a shot.

 

October has been a really busy month, but I have finally got round to putting some new stuff on here, starting with The Pierces.

 

Early in the Month I went down to Cambridge to photograph the Pierces at the Junction. A really good show that reminded me how much I like them. What can I say I am a sucker for a Southern Drawl.

PHOTO NOTES

 

October seems to be a month of challenging lighting, luckily this show was to be the exception to this. Nice amount of clean light through the first three. Backlighting was quite heavy at points but nothing too bad. Nice clean simple lighting for a nice clean and simple show.  If only the rest of the month could have been this easy.  More on this soon.

 

Octobers last gasp of summer meant the last skate event at my local park. Nice little chilled comp. Skateboarding, hanging around in shirt sleeves and chilling with friends. What more could you want from Cotber in Skegness?

There is something about shooting in your local venue. Lincoln’s Engine Shed is my local and it always feels good to shoot there. Being part of Lincoln University, and therefore shut all summer, it had been a while since I had shot there, but it felt good to be back.

Before the show last week I managed to get 5 minutes with Dan Le Sac and B Dolan to shoot some portraits. It was hard to find somewhere suitable in the venue to shoot so we hit outside. The venue was across the street from a multi story car park whose lights made for a nice background for the shots.
