I didn’t get a single shot of System Of A Down that I liked.

I was never really a fan of the band, but that shouldn’t have hindered me shooting them, so I’m not sure what happened here, but these shots do nothing for me.

There's no more over at my site:

I like #2 but you're right, nothing that jumps out.

But cheers anyway man.

Yeah...like I said I like it but meh. Not covering a lot of concerts anymore, I'd be happy since I like the band and not sure if I'd get another chance although I'd hate myself for not getting another chance to improve. :lol:

Nice set. Looks like tough lighting.

Thanks Dwight, but these are far from a nice set - they suck!

Didn't your mother teach you to just say, "Thank You" to a compliment?

I dunno if it is the 'shots' or the venue/lighting. Most rock bands, I go to a lot of show and love seeing SOAD live, have colorful lighting that is always changing. Some smoke. Etc. Something that makes it say "At a rock show".

This venue does not say that.

Hmmm, this was actually an outdoor festival - might have contributed to the lack of punch on the lights?

Not that great lighting, and the band doesn't look like they sound, so I agree this is not your best series. Then again, the images are quite passable, at least technically.
If there's no action on stage, you can't shoot it ;)
