Nations Decay
// April 3rd, 2010 // Event Gallery
Last night I went to see a friend of a friend’s band play and because I love taking photos AND heavy metal so much I had to photograph them playing.
Shooting live music was the very first thing that got me seriously into photography and I still love doing it, especially in a venue I’ve not been before and a band I’ve not shot. However much I think I know about it I can always learn something new to apply – I think the last photo here is the first gig picture I’ve done using both a fisheye lens and off-camera flash.
The band are Nations Decay and the gig was at place called The Vaults in Cirencester. It’s a really cool pub/venue, small but nicely laid out, some interesting lighting and loads of old books and stuffed animals. I think there’s even something that used to be a cat. If I lived closer I think I’d be a regular.
