I shot another canberra festival on the weekend with a killer lineup!

Trackside played host to the living end, cut copy, gyroscope, the getaway plan, something with numbers and the panics just to name a few.

Here are some of my favorite shots!

Most of these were iso 3200 (cause i can) could have gotten away with iso 1600 but now that i have the chance to shoot with really high shutter speeds (read 1/250th at the least up to 1/4000th) at gigs i do, its amazing the little things it captures.

shot between f2.8 and f4 mostly towards f4

all 2000 frames from the day shot in raw!

For that first shot you probably could have gotten a little lower to make it look like the light's hitting his hide. Right now it just looks like his neck's sprouting light. But i'm just being nitpicky

problem is if i did get lower i would have been shooting up his nose, and there was about 5 lights behind him i was trying to hide

I like 1, 2, 4 & 5. 5 in particular!

The others are good too, but I think have too much happening in the background.
