Devour
I think all of the bigger stage, well lit shows I’ve been shooting lately have taken me a bit out of my game and have made me a tad spoiled. I didn’t realize this fact until I went to shoot Shinedown last night at The Palladium om Worcester and was challenged beyond belief by the lights.
I suppose it didn’t help that the entire first song was one big strobe light…and the next two songs the band was pretty much in the dark save for a few spot lights from behind and then those pesky strobes again.
I’m sure for the audience it was a cool ass light show, I however did not enjoy them as much. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. This reminded me of one thing, don’t forget your roots….I need to shoot more club shows to keep myself primed and ready for challenging shows like this.
On a sidenote, the band sounded AMAZING! Theory of a Deadman opened for them and they were great as well. The club was packed and it was a hot sweaty mess. Gotta love it.
