Shot from the balcony (unfortunately Noel does not like photos from the pit) in a packed Komplex 457.

A bit of moving around and lens changing for this gig, simply to vary the angles and zoom otherwise it would have resulted in all exactly the same image… 1D4 at ISO2500, starting with 70-200mm, then a few shots on 300m from a different place, then back to 70-200mm and finially the 24-70mm to gain some wider shots. Mostly at f/2.8 or 3.5 and shutters a bit low towards the 1/200 or 1/300 region.

Shot from the balcony, a distance of maybe 20-25m. We were told this would be ‘from the side of the stage, but could change’ and that didn’t make much sense knowing the venue so I hedged and brought along the 300mm – which ended up being the right thing to do!

I used the 1D4 with 300mm and the 5D2 with 70-200mm to get some wider shots. Taken at ISO2000 simply to make sure shutter speeds were going to be enough, the main issue was a backlight shining directly towards where we were standing and therefore washing out a whole bunch of shots when it was on.
