I had the guys from S.K.O.R. in the studio for a Promo shoot and some more stuff which I can’t wait to show you. I promised them I would shoot them live once I get the opportunity to do so. What a better moment than at the RUK 2013 in Luxembourg city. The disappointing part of this gig was that the band asked for full access to the stage and the whole set. When the three first songs passed I was asked to leave the pit. I thought that it was ok, I would simply go and take some more pics from the stage, …. well it turned out that I was not allowed on stage during the set. I mention this for my fellow concert photographers who are starting out in the business: Rules change all the time, … if you don’t agree you will most likely be asked to leave the venue which doesn’t serve your reputation or the bands. So be prepared 😉
On a technical note: Well I am not a fan of Festivals in terms of concert pictures. At leaste during daylight hours. There’s no artificial light to speak of, so the stage gets a bit boring. On the upside you don’t have any issues with noise and high ISO values. I used a mixture of objectives for this gig. The light was really good so I was not limited to my really fast lenses.
