Roy Ayers Gig at The Magnet, Liverpool

[Badger UK]

I went to the Roy Ayers gig at The Magnet on Thursday night. They seem to be happy for photographers to take pics of whatever they like there and its usually a good place to go to get some shots.

But on Thursday, althought the gig was packed out and the atmos as great as it ever is, I just couldn't get any decent shots. There seemed to be loads of tall people at the front and the lights somehow just wern't bright enough to get the shots I wanted without flash.

I left the gig feeling sweaty and happy at the gig I'd seen but I was a little disappointed by the pics.

Still, I suppose that's what it's all about. If it was easy it wouldn't be as much fun.

Here's three shots anyway. Let me know what you think

Not bad shots but there's no way I'd be wasting time with a camera at a Roy Ayers gig. :D

You're right. After a while I stopped taking photos and just got in to the music. This was when my beloved 40D was just a thing that got in the way as I tried to push through the crowd to get a beer. Never mind eh!
