does anyone actually go to this guys gigs to listen to the music, or is it all just to take pictures?

Oriel

Move to music forum, bth.

Cabaal

Saw him before in the forum when Beautiful South played last year, they were giving away tickets here in work yesterday.

Looks like a nice gig to shoot from what I've seen of em

I stopped bringing my camera with me to a lot of the gigs, so that I could enjoy it more.

I went to the Police gig in Croke park last week and I couldn't believe the amount of people who were recording the concert on their phones or P&S cameras. And taking snaps. No way you could enjoy the concert if you were concentrating on recording the whole thing**.


















** For normal concerts I mean. I doubt if they would have enjoyed the Police if they were concentrating on them, but I digress

and yes, I agree that listening to music is probably what you're meant to do at gigs!;)
(but he is pretty photogenic)

If you are going as a gig-goer yeah, but of course alot of people on here are working at most of the gigs they shoot.

As for Duke, yeah he does make for a fairly special shot (sorry ) and I've taken my fair share, even getting a nice couple of rewards from various shots, but in fairness it has to be said, you're not going to get much better than Oriel's shots for this particular artist.

melekalikimaka

ah yes them... :rolleyes:, i've seen a fair dash of their shots bout flickr and the like recently. Anyone hitting the leman album launch on sat in whelans?

I only got my 400D yesterday and memory card hasn't arrived yet. Had to use my phone... Will work out how to post them up here or if anyone knows what's the best way to do. Imageshack or something?

Was a great gig now must say. Have booked tickets to go see him in IMMA, Kilmainham Friday 26th.

kensutz

If I wasn't working nights I would've gone in to see him and taken the camera along. I remember someone posting some excellent shots on here before.

Fajitas!

My da was there last night. Electric avenue was packed.

Guest list ftw!

No need for a move to music forum, tbh.

Because there are so many photos and so much camera talk?

Plenty of camera talk there. Just because it's about shooting a musician dosn't mean it should be sent to the music form. Pretty bad logic.

OH, and as for next time you have a problem with a post or thread, there's a little Report Thread button there to the left of your screen for you to press, rather than posting in it. It makes more sense.

Sure you know I like yours. Was just making the point he takes a very 'atmospheric' shot, very different to your 'non-stage' performance shots on the night I dragged you along!

Just got a link from the Duke Special newsletter with some photos from the gig he did at the Some Days Never End gig along with Jose Gonzalez.

Some nice looking shots

Fajitas!

That would be Oriel who posts here

Nearly all the newsletter stuff is Stephen's, seeing as he sends them out. Nice shots.

Very nice concert story there, Stephen. Time to give up the day job, eh? :-)
