Hello all,

I was lucky enough to shoot U2 in Paris this weekend and here are some of the shots. My apologies if there are too many here, I will include a link to the rest on flickr too.

The rest of the set can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterneill/sets/72157624862698699/

lOVING THE SECOND LAST SHOT

Thanks guys!

Quick question, thinking of selling some as canvases, think people would be interested, if they are fairly priced, i.e. not rip off prices ?

Would you need the pictures to be licensed for that?

gizzymo · 22-09-2010 10:26am

They are, I have that agreement with U2, i negotiated the terms of my press pass, I was going to be paid for taking photos, but instead wanted rights to sell some

Smokeyskelton · 22-09-2010 10:49am

Congratulations,

I like all of them, but the B&W ones are particularly great.

homerun_homer · 22-09-2010 11:14am

Great photos!! Who were you shooting the gig for?

gizzymo · 22-09-2010 11:19am

I was shooting for Amp Visual, company owned by Steve Averill and Sean McGrath, U2's visual designers.

NothingMan · 22-09-2010 11:26am

the last 3 are spectacular. The last one would make a great poster with a U2 graphic across the top/middle. 3rd last would make a great print, pity The Edge is a silhouetted but it kind of works.

Visuelle · 22-09-2010 11:31am

Fantastic set, great job.

smash · 22-09-2010 11:33am

Great photos. what equipment and settings were you using?

first and 2nd last are my favourites.

gizzymo · 22-09-2010 11:45am

I was using a 5D MkII and a 70-200 2.8 L IS

I also used a sigma 15mm, but i have not worked on those shots yet, only got back last night!

artyeva · 22-09-2010 1:32pm

as much as i'm not into their music, and as much as i think bono is a self serving egotistical twat of the highest order, these are amaaaazing. specially the first one. really, really, really, amazing!!!!!

gizzymo · 22-09-2010 2:27pm

Wow artyeva,

Thanks!

see you are from Mayo? I grew up in Crossmolina.....

artyeva · 22-09-2010 2:54pm

i know! yeah, i'm just down [over? back?] the road in bangor

Ballyman · 22-09-2010 3:52pm

I love the two B&W's. Great stuff.

magicbastarder · 22-09-2010 4:54pm

the first one could do with some photoshopping - PS some vomit in

theboat · 22-09-2010 5:13pm

Cracking photos altogether!

Great captures well done, I had a look at your Flickr too, your photos dont have a watermark and are posted full size, seriously I think some people would be interested so you might want to protect your interest.

gizzymo · 22-09-2010 6:26pm

Thanks IamBlip,

Appreciate you taking the time to post that. I have been wondering is there a program to auto watermark all my images curently on flickr, without me needing to re-upload them all.....

Excellent photos, would kill for an opertunity like that, i reckon if you found the right outlet you could sell some maybe to some sole trader owned music shops or the like.

Class Shots

I don't like U2 but those are nice shots. They look very modern (not a bad thing) when I compare them to some of the 60s stuff I like.

You could try Captain Americas? Don't they have a policy of buying Irish art of musicians. (I think I heard that somewhere.)

thebaz · 22-09-2010 10:50pm

I really like the 2nd last one - standout for me - i think if you get just one great from a gig you have done well - so respect

Gax · 22-09-2010 10:53pm

I love U2 and these photos are banging.

denisor · 22-09-2010 11:01pm

Gizzymo, stand back there and take a bow, well done you have taken some fantastic pictures, yes you should consider selling them, they are that good, but be sure to run it by your employer, my expierience is telling me that you may earn more by keeping them off market. they may not appreciate you licking the cream, even if cream always rises to the top......You have a talant sir. PM me your details when you have time.

almedajohnson · 23-09-2010 5:37am

OMG. That's really cool. The pics looks live. I feel to go in the concert.

gizzymo · 23-09-2010 8:31am

Thanks all of you for the great feedback

hoganpoly · 23-09-2010 8:39am

Cracking shots op ,real icons of our time caught perfectly..very envious of you:)

I dont think there is a program to auto-watermark pictures already uploaded to Flickr, but there are many programs that can auto watermark files prior to upload. Do a search re: watermarks for the type of PP software you use.

Not a fan of watermarks myself and have never used them but then again I dont have commerically attractive photos either.
