Nice festival to shoot, allthough lighting in the café was hell.
A few good bands in the main hall, Mala Vita and Nailpin being the best known with the 'target audience' (young)
100 Usable images selected out of about 950. Not too bad. Some of them even good...

All shot with 1D2, 20 to 200mm. Exif should be there.

C&C welcome.

Too bad about the microphone in Roos! The poster is butt ugly, too, given how lovely she is. :-) It is never a screw-up catching the talent autographing ladies' chests. :cool:

[shesgotthepic]

Really nice set. I have to agree that 4 is the dogs bollocks. The last one you posted on the girl is stunning as well.

Well done you.

I am known as a "Sweet Talker", eh? Anyway, you know I love redheads! Yes, lovely image. I still wish the wimmen would tear off their shirts like the men ... isn't that sexual discrimination? And, hey, I wasn't the one that said, "dog's bollocks!" :lol::lol::lol:

[johnstoy]

Wow, she certainly is beautifully cute in #1...

pic #3 has that couple in the back, with the cigarette lighter...lookin' good man...

And post #4 could melt my heart, if I don't stop looking at it...

[livewire-photography.com]

Jeez Rene that last image is stunning as well as she lol.
Nice one bud.

[bestfromnw]

[René Damkot]

Thanks all!

Sometimes you need a bit of luck...

[InspiredGraphix]

Great pics Rene.

I can't say I have shot a concert like this before, but from shooting theatre, i am sure it takes alot more than theatre does!

Amazing shots Rene, i love the chest signing how did you get that effect ?

[René Damkot]

Thanks.
On the 'effect': Waaayy to long a shuttertime. (1/2 second or so). Camera was on Av, with + 1,3 EC... Flash was on ETTL.

Wonderful Rene. I really like #3 for caprturing "the whole thing" - lots of atmosphere.

[thelightofsound]

great set rené. the last one is great. that lighter was the first thing my eye saw in #3. i also like #2 a lot; is that a didje his is playing in the background? what kind of music is at this fest?

[René Damkot]

Thanks!

I think it's a didgeridoo (how do you spell that?)

Here's a sharper image of him:

very nice! i think it is spelled both didgeridoo and didjeridoo. but maybe our aussie friends can chime in one this one.

[bmoguy]

Very nice. I find myself liking #2, very intense.
But good stuff all around.

[René Damkot]

what kind of music is at this fest?

Bugger. I forgot to include links in the OP...

Some myspace and band sites. Most include audio.

Roosbeef (http://myspace.com/roosbeef), Nailpin (http://www.nailpin.be/), Mala Vita (http://www.malavita.net/), Clueless (http://myspace.com/cluelessweb) and Combo Di Conjo (http://www.combodiconjo.com/audio.html) (ouch)

Different kinds of music, from quite pop to poppy punk I'd say. Most bands quite 'easy listening', and targeted at the younger audience (16 to 20 or so) I'd say. Some exceptions to the rule off course.
