Pop Evil in Corpus Christi, TX at Concrete Street on 07/26/09
August 2, 2009
I know, first photo I have uploaded in a while. While this is not a well known band, i thought I would comment on this photo since this was the band that gave me the most satisfaction shooting that night.
This show was at Concrete Street in Corpus Christi, TX (www.concretestreet.net) It was on the main stage, and is like my third or forth show here. The lighting is wonderfull, and the stage is tall. But when smaller bands come up to play, they come right up to the end of the stage offering some really good shots. Another thing about this shoot, was that one of my favorite photographers was there. His name is Ash Newell (www.ashnewell.com) and he is the on the road photographer for bands like Whitesnake, Hinder, and Def Leapard. He recently got off tour with Taylor Swift. He is a very nice guy, and seeing him up on stage is what got me started on concert photography in the first place.
This show was good, followed by Whitesnake starting with the sun still up and ending right after dark, giving me some good lens change oppurtunities and some great lighting changes. After that, Judas Priest played and that was a treat with me 50mm 1.8. I wish I could have gotten some better pics with a better lens, but in my humble opinion, the shots came out pretty good for the gear I am using.
This week the new D700 and 70-200mm Nikon gear is announced. Starting to save up to take my photography to the next step. The 50mm is great for learners and bars, but for the big venues and paying customers, i am going to need some better gear. Please review the entire set, with more pictures coming daily as I edit and upload. have a nice day!
