Yes, again, much easier to review and appreciate! I like the angle of #2 ... it reminds me that I should go up to the top tier of the raised seats to shoot the stage as well as at ground level at the lightboard!

[René Damkot]

Actually quite easy at this venue (013 in Tilburg (http://www.013web.nl/)), since the floor is kindof a big staircase towards the back. Back of the hall is something like 2 meters higher then the front ;)
Capacity is 2200 people, and it was about 1/2 to 3/4 filled that night. Shame the show didn't have a light tech with them: Now one of the local crew was behind the lightboard, and he did it rather badly...

[DwightMcCann]

Geez, that's a big place. The Chumash Casino Resort's Samala Room where I shoot has about 1300 capacity. And unlike 013, the local LD is very good!

When shooting at Hanks I actually go out on the roof. The stage area is technically on a patio. They raise some "flaps" to get circulation. I've gotten some of my better shots at that angle.

These are all very nice....

[René Damkot]

Yeah, I use a barstool every now and then to shoot over the audience. Kinda trick with the rougher concerts however ;)

Thanks for the comments everyone!
