Forum: Concerts and Productions

Went to a free concert in the park last Thursday. I like pipe bands! I found out that this band our very own local one, went to Scotland last fall and won the World Championship for amateur / junior pipe bands!!

Same night as Megadeth (this was one loud show!) 1. 2. 3.

Let's bring some life back to this board!!! I think I know a key ingredient to help us out... MEGADETH!!! 1. 2.

This show was insane... and I hate this band - but I love their lighting guy! 1. 2. 3.

I got the opportunity to shoot Mayhem Fest last weekend in Hartford. Despite being a wimp and only shooting the indoor bands on the main stage, it was still hot enough inside to allow me to leave with a sweat soaked shirt. 27 photogs in the pit was no fun, being elbowed by people with media passes...

Some awesome Dogs!!! Jump!! Weave Poles

Went to the 2nd annual Help Willys Friend Pet fair on the 16th of May.. Both as an unofficial Photog for HWF and as an Unofficial volunteer for the Animal Haven..lol Besides, My wife Christine, who is now a volunteer for Help Willys Friends and had worked on this fair, made me go..lol ...

Jeff visited the XL Center in Hartford recently... The ones shown here were shot handheld with the 300mm, -- 5and 6 are handheld standing on a chair. The reach still wasn't enough, so I had to upsize these 10% at a time then crop them down. 1. 2. 3.

I recently took my step daughter to a concert in Atlanta. DSLR's were not allowed so I took my M6 and a roll of Trix. I shot this at 1250iso and pushed it in Diafine. I only survived the first band out of five and retired to the car and took a nap.LOL. I don't know any of the bands names they were...

thats right, the 80's are back in Syracuse! both bands played our Inner Harbor Hump Day concert series last night and since it was free i figured i would check it out. If nothing else i could practice my live show shooting. snagged a few decent shots, i think every band should play on a stage...

shot a co-workers CD release party for his band a few weeks back, finally getting around to posting. the lighting was awful and the bar was really small so i wasnt happy with the shoot but i was able to get a couple shots i was mildly happy with. the band was excited to have some shots by someone...

So today I was going to do a photo shoot with my car, since I haven't had the camera out of the bag in about a month. But that never happened. I came across the blues fest in downtown Syracuse instead.

shot another co-workers band the weekend after the CD release, had a little better lighting for this one!

I had the opportunity to shoot a local studio's production of the Nutcracker this past weekend. They did a phenomenal job... I was very, very impressed. I shot these all from high up above all the seats. I had two tripods... one with a Canon Mark III and 200 1.8 with TC1.4. I shot some with...

shot my first concert last night, Rockin the Red Cross corporate battle of the bands. My company sponsored a band so i went as their photographer. I really could have used a f2.8 lens but i think i did ok for a first timer. The show as at the Landmark Theater here in Syracuse. here is the...

Just a few from 3/11/09 The Animal Haven's Annual Wine Tasting, Sam Adams beer, Silent Auction. The Venue, Aunt Chilidas in Hamden, CT Sam Adams Beer Lady.. (Amature Photog too!) The crew responsible for making this happen (Mrs. Zacker, front row on right (your right) grey-ish,...

Here's the first shot from the All That Remains set at Toad's Place in New Haven.

OK, not as bad as it may seem, but every sound board needs one - a Suck knob! (for those that don't remember, it's based on a class The Far Side comic of yesteryear - click here). This was on the board at Toad's Place (my 12 channel board has one, and when we owned the nightclub at UConn, the 24...
