Jason Williamson in action at @forwardsbristol
A few weeks back I bought a slightly better lens for events and had planned to use it at the Forwards Festival. As the gig came nearer all we seemed to hear was the threat of (much needed admittedly) torrential downpours over the weekend. So not wanting a repeat of the utter soaking my equipment got at 2016's Massive Attack gig I decided to play it safe & take my usual camera/lens combination which would be easier to stash away when the heavens opened.
This works well when positioned at the front of the stage but having witnessed a phenomenal set from Kae Tempest we rushed over to the main stage to catch the Sleaford Mods. It was then that the limitations of the kit I had bought became a lot more apparent, so those shots of the charismatic Jason Williamson are a bit grainy as the ISO was very high and we weren't that close to the stage. Oh well you live and learn...and it didn't rain!!
