I kicked off this blog as a way of featuring my best live music photography, but I’ve not put any of the shots up from this year until now. So I’ve got my poo in one sock and put up all of my shots from shows this year.

Each has a bit of a description, this one was taken at The Mess Hall show on Friday. I caught one of the moveable cans behind Cec’s head which isolates his head and body. You can see his drum stick in the background, blown out by the light.

I’ve shot The Butterfly Effect a couple of times now and always seem to get great shots. They always have awesome lights and this time around they really cranked up the white lights, with excellent results.

The blur in this shot creates a sense of movement. Whilst the fres on the moveable lights creates a great rainbow in the back ground.

This shot has a great sense of light and shade, with the ambient light creating the background and shade creating the definition.

A pretty boring show really. I got stuck in one spot and couldn’t get any really exciting shots.

From the three day shoot this is my favourite. I shot conservatively only putting four hundred frames through the camera and editing as I went.

I had to sneak my camera into the venue for this one. Luckily I know all the guards in Canberra and they were more than happy to let me in front of the barrier. I borrowed a mates 17-40mm f4.0 and got some awesomely sharp shots. This one caught the bass player from Kill Switch in mid flight. I love it.

For once red light wasn’t the worst thing in the world. The only unfortunate thing about this frame is the bass head in frame. This is one of the coolest rock shots I’ve taken.
