Christian Bowman - Concert Photography

On friday night I was invited as a VIP Guest to The Grates concert. I was also given a media pass by Jhon the guitarist from the band for me to take photos. I was a guest with Cass & Lauren Brisbane who are friends with Jhon and Patience. Unfortunately I cannot post the pictures I took in a public gallery. Instead i’ve got a wonderful picture of me being extra cool and special with my guest and media wrist bands of excellence. I did feel very special.

The actual concert was awesome, i’ve never seen them live before, and I love how energetic and beautiful Patience is on stage, definitely a work of art! Oh Jhon, Dan in the panda suit and Alana also are works of art. Or are they?

I took a few photos, as with most events such as a parades and concerts, flash photography is not permitted. I took in my Canon 20D and my “nifty fifty” 50mm 1.8 II lens and shot using shutter priority mode. As much as I could I shot at 125th for a second, whilst its not really fast enough for the bouncing and pouncing of patience’s performance, its gives me enough room to get enough light into the camera at ISO 800.

    that’s awesome man! the grates are just grate (yes that’s all ive got).

    is it just me or does everyone know someone that knows someone in the grates? I go to church with John’s grandmother (Ruth) and my Pastor apparently has bumped into them a few times there (name dropping i know).

    cool stuff anyways, I like the masking man.
