Another quick edit from last nights We Are The In Crowd gig. It was an interesting pit to take photos in and its the first time that i attempted lens changes in the middle of a set. The lights weren’t great, but it is giving me a lot to play around with in Lightroom.

Last night i traveled over to Cardiff to go and see We Are The In Crowd on the third night of their first headlining tour. I wont say too much about the gig, as it will all be covered in the review, but needless to say it was an incredible night. I met Tay before the gig for a quick interview outside their dressing room and it was a lot of fun. She is such a lovely person and i hope that i get to catch up with her again later in the year when they return to the UK. She has recently been complaining about the UK having bland food so i took her some Bens Cookies from Bath and a few Demakes Tees for her and Jordan. I really want to know if she liked them and i am hoping that the Demakes stuff might make it on stage at a later date in the tour. 

I am editing some of the photos now, so keep your eyes on my Tumblr, my Flickr and the Alternative Vision website for more stuff coming soon.

@fffunction just launched their new site. Its freakin’ awesome so you have to go and have a look.

Its lovely to see my photography being used and Pete has always been a great support to me. Without Pete, i wouldn’t be doing photography to this level so i have a lot to thank him for. It was such a lovely day to go and shoot with the guys and i hope a few of the other shots make their way onto the site at a later date. 

I can’t say enough good things about these guys. If you need to guarantee an awesome service and get yourself a website that will stand out above everyone else then these are the guys to go to.

I wish them all the best in their new venture. 

I need to persuade Bristol Academy to let me shoot from outside the pit on a regular occasion. Until then i will have to do it out of the eyes of the security. I took this quickly over the barrier with a manual 80-210mm F4 FD Canon lens with a FD to EF lens adaptor.

The lighting was difficult at best in the pit so i was happy to grab with shot of ‘I Am The Avalanche’ in their 4th track before sitting back and enjoying the rest of their awesome set.

I havent finished editing the photos from last night’s Young Guns gig in Bath’s Moles Club, but i found this and had to post it before i continued.

This for me sums up last night. I had to fight for my photos with the crowd and i wasn’t annoyed as Young Guns had to fight just as hard to playing their instruments. It was a true small club gig, unhindered by any interference from security or barriers. I wont say too much more, as i want to save it for the review, but lets just say it was pretty good.

Incredible gig tonight, watching Decade play the Thekla. It was an absolute nightmare to take photos at, with the only light coming from some small christmas style fairy lights. The boys killed it tonight, they get better every time i see them. I cant believe how much energy they could fit on such a tiny stage. I managed to catch a moment of calm in between the mayhem they unleashed so i thought i would share it with you before i hit the sack.
