The pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre came to the Rockhal to promote their latest album “Further”. The Chemical Brothers played at the launch event for the Wii, recorded motion picture sound tracks , released something like 7 Albums, a fair number of singles and a bunch of EP’s. They mix their concerts live on stage, I guess that says enough about what kind of artists Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons are.
Notes: Well this was by far the toughest show I had to photograph so far. There was no pit, we had to shoot from the back of the venue and there were 19 photographers, which didn’t make things easy. The light on Tom and Ed was ……… just non existant, and the screen that made for a fabulous show was the complete opposite in terms of light, … it was bright, very bright. Basically I had to find the middle ground in getting some light onto Tom and Ed’s faces without overexposing the background too much. All of this at ISO1600 and very low speeds. We had only two songs, all these elements made the selection tonight quite fast. To be honest I was tempted not to post any pictures, but these are the ones that I think are worth posting …
