The Turn- in concert {at Molloy 4-17}
My first ever live concert that I was "press" for!! I was asked by my new favorite band to come take some pictures at their show last week and it was so fun! I posted on the blog earlier how much they ROCKED IT and they really, really did. I think they totally have the stuff to make it. And when that happens, I’ll be on tour with the band (yeah, right. I’d like to think I’d be, but I’m not in the movie almost famous! Still have 3 kids to take care of. But I can dream, right!?)
I’m going to have to remember to bring earplugs for the next show. I love the music but being literally ON TOP of those huge speakers isn’t so great for your hearing. Gotta turn down the volume somehow. The lighting for the show sucked (for me) but I figured out how to work it pretty well. Some dramatic shots in there with backlighting look pretty rock n roll to me. And I found out that it is HARD to photograph the drummer- between him being so far back in no lighting and the constant motion, he turned out to be my biggest challenge.
They were so great "in concert", opening up for Big Shot who is a Billy Joel cover band. Some of my rock n roll favorites:
