THursday night saw me at Junktion 7 in Nottingham for a band night. I was expecting a fairly small venue but this place is, well tiny.
Tiny, and very keen on using heavy red gels on the lighting :evil:

Anyway, I was there to photograph the last band, Hinterland, who are a rock act from Nottingham who will soon be supporting Amen on their european tour. I know one of the guys from the band who was keen for some shots.

Here are Hinterland

What I was up against when shooting:
Lead singer with a tendancy to spray his drink on the (small) crowd
Unpredictable & uneven lighting
Damn nasty metal barrier right across the front of the stage
Front focussing 30mm F1.4

I hardly got any shots of the drummer because I had one fast lens which was the 30mm.
Overall I'm quite dissapointed with how it went and the shots I got. Fortunatly I should get another go in a larger and significantly better lit venue in January - and I might pick up a longer lens for that one too!

Comments and Critique very welcome :)

If in doubt, I shut up...

Gear: 40D, 12-24mm AT-X Pro, 17-85mm, Sigma 150mm Macro Sigma 100-300 F4, 550EX, other stuff that probably helps me on my way.

I simply must get some of my "early" images up so you can see what real "crap" looks like ... these are certainly OK.

Drummers are always the hardest to get. Typically I have permission to roam the stage, but sometimes the clubs are too small and the drummer is up against the wall which leaves no manuvering room.
