Southern Death Threat/Quartered/Firebrand, November 7, 2008
Southern Death Threat, Quartered and Firebrand live at The Bourbon, November 7, 2008.
Equipment:
Canon Rebel XTi
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Sigma 30mm f/1.4
Tamron 28-75 f/2.8
Photo Notes:
Back at The Bourbon again. I'm thinking I should get an apartment upstairs or something.
Hadn't seen either of the first two bands and I had seen Southern Death Threat once before.
The colours in this shoot turned out a lot better than I expected. James the sound guy (and a darned good sound guy, by the way) had the lights cranked from the get-go, which was much appreciated.
All three bands brought great energy to the stage. Credit to Firebrand, the opening band, for rocking hard even though there wasn't much of a crowd for their set.
Overall, the show wasn't too hard to shoot. A thick crowd for SDT made positioning tricky, but nothing impossible. An overabundance of fog on stage made for less contrast-y photos than I would have liked, but there's no denying how good it makes the stage lights look.
There were a number of other photographers there, so I had to work on looking for interesting shots and staying a step ahead of the rest of the pack. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.
