Kashmir @ Cross Linx Festival, Enschede

Headliner of the Cross Linx Festival, was Danish band [URL=http://"http://www.myspace.com/kashmiryeah"]Kashmir[/URL].

Very nice to shoot something with more then half decent lighting for a change...

You might remember one of the images from the Raw Conversion [URL=http://"http://musicphotoforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=143.0"]challenge[/URL] I posted a while back ;)

Lighting looked nice when you were at the center of the stage, but pretty much fell apart from the sides. Also, it was kinda centered on the singer mostly, so getting a good close up of the other musicians was next to impossible (also because of the high stage).

The singer had a tendency to hide behind the mic a bit, so that added a complication.

#5: Entire stage again:

All shot with 1D2 and 50/1.4 or 80-200L. I could have used a 1.4 extender...

C&C welcome!
