One part gig report, one part Alex learning just how bad his DSLR skills are….
I don’t get out to gigs much. Partly that’s my musical tastes, and partly that’s being a parent (and thus officially “past it”, according to some sources). In fact, I can say with some accuracy what the last gig I went to was. It was Howard Jones at Hornsby RSL, something I photoblogged on March 30, 2007. Yeah, that’s a long time ago.
Anyway, last night, he was back. It seemed only polite to return the favour and turn up myself. Except this time I had a much better camera. Would that equate to better photos? Well, I’d like to think so, but the flip side of that is that I’m just showing off twenty-odd photos here. I took roughly 500 of the suckers. 172 were worth keeping, either because they were actually in focus (clearly a rarity) or just captured a moment or expression, or similar. Yes, I know some of the shots below are fuzzy in places. I’m still learning, it seems, and I’ve got a long way to go.
