Slipknot @ Rod Laver Arena

[blackshadow]

I shot Slipknot tonight at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne - pretty amazing band to shoot. There was so much going on that it was hard to work out where to shoot.

The full set of photos can be seen here (http://blackshadow.smugmug.com/gallery/6382646_9zuW2//403608909_UAxNC).

Look great except for your obtrusive watermark over the faces. Would have to say #3 if my fav.

Never had the occasion to work a slipknot show, but I'm sure you have plenty of amazing photos from the show. They put on such a theatrical performance it would be hard not to get some great shots.

Amazing costumes... Kinda scary too.

[SonicTarget]

Pretty good shots, wish I had seen them in concert - love their music.

[xzombiex]

From what I hear they really put on an amazing show. They really prep for each performance.

[Suicidenote]

Your link to full set of photos is not working for me. Did you get any shots of the inverted drumset?

[René Damkot]

Nice set.
But obnoxious watermark. ;)

[dinanm3atl]

Very Nice!

Love Slipknot.

[Pete W]

Excellent images :)

[blackshadow]

Thanks everyone.

No inverted drum kit photos and the link to the gallery has been fixed.

Nice to see some great shots of Joey (Drummer)....I didn't see too many from their tour in NA (And I certainly didn't manage to get any either!) Going to go check out the rest now but love the set!

[narlus]

it looks like a good set, but as others have pointed out, the watermark is a bit much...richard, i get what you are trying to do, but maybe there comes a point where if the threat of unauthorized use is too high, just don't post 'em online.

Awesome band to see perform, they are extremely charasmatic.

Saddly the copyright watermark ruins the excellent shots

I would really love to see the first one of Joey without it

[PurelySwift]

Great set, and I have to agree the watermark is a little intense. 8 is a great angle.

great shot's,

i saw them in brisbane and was completely entertained.

[blackshadow]

Thanks everyone - I'd photograph them in a heartbeat again.

[german]

lovin the first shot of joey. That is an awesome setup he has..

[blackshadow]

I have bowed to pressure and there is now a new, less intrusive watermark... hopefully some of you will appreciate it.
