One from my archives. Just a shot of some of the lights at the concert I photographed back in July. I've been asked to photograph another one in a few weeks. The last one raised almost £500 for Helen & Douglas House so I very much hope we can do the same again.
I had the opportunity to take some 'stills' for a band that were filming a live video for two new songs that they have recently recorded ........ The lighting was very 'moody' to suit the atmospheric percussion and vocals, so there was an ongoing battle to get as much light onto the camera sensor as i could .........
