GO! GO! GODZILLA!

Posted in Concert, Widespread Panic No comments

Widespread Panic tore through Chicago like the lizard creature they sang about Halloween evening.  First the Chicago Theater.  Two nights of great music in one of the most spectacular rooms in the country.  With multiple balconies and easy access to the entire room shooting there was easier than most venues.  Halloween night was in the Aragon Ballroom.  An ornate room, the painted ceiling and general ambiance added to the 1930′s World’s Fair stage setup, complete with it’s on Zoltar Machine.

Glacier National Park

Posted in Uncategorized No comments

Glacier is one of my favorite places to visit.  Growing up in Montana I went to the park nearly every year as a child with my family and still try to make it there once a year if possible.  This year I spent a weekend in the park focusing mostly on watching light angles against the larger glacier formed walls along Going to the Sun road.  The park can be tricky to shoot as light is constantly blocked by opposing mountains, or hitting directly on an area blowing out any detail in your shot.  I found using a map with the sun path laid over it to be very helpful in knowing where and when to be at specific locations for good dramatic light.

Red Rocks

Posted in Concert, Widespread Panic No comments

Once again I found myself shooting one of the most spectacular venues in the country for Widespread Panic. Red Rocks provides so many different vantage points that even shooting multiple nights things don’t feel repetitive. Some of my favorite shots are of the crowd (both day and night with lights) as the vertical angles give a unique perspective a lot of venues don’t have. The daytime show on Sunday also gave me a chance to focus on the band more, without the fast paced shooting required at night under a ton of light.
