Even just talking to the lighting guy causes the Jinx

As you now know the answer was no. The lighting tends to change for every song, and depends on where the artist is stood on the stage as to if they will be under a spot or hidden in the depths of the blue or red darkness.

I try not to get down to f2.8 as worried that the guitar, mic and face wouldn’t be in focus. Or if the camera accidentally focuses on the mic the eyes might not be in focus. Sometimes you have no choice and the 50mm at 1.8 comes out. Then you know it’s dark!

Look forward to seeing your shots, it was good to see you.

Excellent matey. Scouts honour I didnt ask for anything to be changed! Before they came on I took a couple of meter readings to lock in manually and there was zippo light so all I did was ask if the lighting would be this constant throughout. But yeah, you’re right, I shot virtually everything at 1600 and f/2.8 bar a couple of frames.

Thanks Jon. I had permission from the promoter to take photos. I assume he clears it with the band. I used a 28-70mm and 70-200mm both Sigma lenses on a Canon 20D.

Great photos of a great band. I went to see them in sept but there was mention of no photographic equipment allowed. Did you get special dispensation? What lenses were used?
