I agree with Andrew. That Forster shot is superb. Possibly the best of yours that I’ve ever seen.

Thanks Heath. Although there are venues with better lighting set-ups than The Troubadour they can all still be very hit and miss. The Zoo has been pretty bad in recent times and I’ve had bad lighting at The Tivoli and the BEC on occasions. At least you know what you’re going to get at The Troubadour so it’s probably more annoying and frustrating when you get rubbish lighting at a bigger venue.

Thanks Blair. I’ve taken so many bad shots of Jo and she’s forever reminding me. I just really like that one, not sure if she’s seen it as I can’t remember her commenting on it.

Thanks Andrew. He is one of my favourite people to photograph, so looking forward to another chance at ATP this weekend.

Well done, outstanding pics and a very honest site. Thanks for taking the pics of Brisbane sounds 08. Your right, the one of Jo looks quality too. Cheers, Blah from the Zoo!

Sure is an impressive list. Gotta agree that The Tivoli and The Zoo are the best venues to shoot in. I’ve been unfortunate enough to do a few gigs at the Troubador. It’s like trying to shoot in the dark, with just one candle lighting the stage, from behind a red gel.

Don’t know about best ever but was amazing, even from the very back row as far from the stage as you could get. Was a bit surprised that they came back to do NZ later in the year but didn’t come back here. The dollar will affect the overseas acts coming over but about half of the stuff I photographed was Australian and about half of that was Brisbane bands. So I guess there might be less glamourous photo ops going on next year, although January and February are still pretty amazing months for gigs. Shame I’m away in NZ for all of Feb though…

That’s a pretty bloody impressive list! See how we go in 2009 with the dollar down…Love that shot of Sting too. I came out of the Maiden show claiming it was the best show I have ever attended…nothing’s changed. It was awesome. Also glad to know I’m not the only geek who keeps photo passes and concert tickets!
