This was kind of an epic shoot for me...shot the whole show, 268 clicks (not counting the opening bands). The lighting at this place (Frankies in Toledo) was sort of interesting. I've shot this venue once before, but I didn't quite realize what was going on with the lighting the first time. They have two banks of these weird LED lights. The lights can change colors in pretty much any pattern (unfortunatly they were kept constant during this show). The kicker though is that they blink at a relatively high rate, and all the lights in a bank seem to blink in sequence. So, for shutter speeds over 1/100 or so, you get random black frames.
I went off on a tangent with the PP, mainly due to the fact that the front light bank was red and the rear lights were blue...not really my favorite look.
Oh and the band...just brilliant. Saw these guys open for Queens of the Stone Age like five years ago, and they are every bit as good as they were then. Just pure, dirty, loud rock-and-roll minus the attitude, ego and all the bs that typically goes along with playing music on a stage.
Hard to pick just 8 (for once). More here
Let me know what you think of the PP.
Thanks.
