Red ring

Taken on 13 July 1985 (Live Aid was being played at Wembley Stadium UK). As Bob Geldorf and various rock stars hit the stage I pressed the shutter on this.

Pentax ME Super, 16mm full-frame fish eye, f16 30thsec. The sky is punched up using a hand-held large format cokin polariser (to stop vignette) with slight underexposure. While the camera was tripod-mounted in order to hold the filter, stay out of frame and fire the shutter. Home processed Fujichrome 50asa professional. The scan doesn't do the transparency justice.
