Hi all,

Personally, I took 48 of your band, mostly of this guy leaping about. The other tog was my padawan, but he took my camera onto another couple of gigs, and when I got it back last night, he'd wiped the memory card!

He says he has them on his PC which isn't a lot of use to me right now.

I've put a handful of pics from the day on my Flickr.

I'm afraid not as I've already got something on that evening.

For those that are shooting, the lighting at the Orange Rooms is a bit boring. Doesn't change much and drops off quite a bit from centre front. The stage is only about a foot tall and not very deep though so you can get right under the artists' noses. Enjoy.

I would have loved to try a bit of gig photography, plus as I am in Portsmouth, it's not too far to travel. But unfortunately I have a university students union awards dinner on the evening of the 4th June (I am nominated for an award

)

I have a friend who does a lot of gig photography, and it is something I am planning to try this summer. I will be trying to contact small local/unsigned bands when I get back home (West Midlands) in 2 weeks.
