I had my first go shooting in the photography pit Saturday night. I was in as a crew member of the supporting act Goldspot. the nice thing was that I was able to feel out the position during their soundcheck, a luxury I would not be afforded under normal circumstances.
The lighting was a pain though as there was very little front lighting, most of which was there being red, but check out the results if you'd like.
( One small step... )Also, I'm now using a flickr account to highlight my better shots and bands I shoot as opposed to concerts I attend. If you're interested check it out over at
