New here. I love going to shows, and even more when I can tote a camera with me. I am very amateur, but I like to try anyways…I figure that is half the battle.

Hello all!

Saw this in the LJ Spotlight and joined immediately!

Just a quick bio I guess of me. I've been into photography and music for as long as I could remember. The first show I shot was 2008 Warped, then followed by Slipknot back in February. Ever since then I was hooked and knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I was going to post some photos of my work, but I don't know which ones to post! So maybe you can all check out my website.

Thanks and I hope to look forward to all of your work!

Hi there! Found you guys on spotlight this week and I'm so glad that I've been able to see something like this on LJ. Ok, I'm Georgina, 18 years old and a photographic design major at university. I use to be hard out into my live gig shooting (wouldn't say I was the best however, started to get my groove but completely lost it) but this year has been dedicated to my studies. So here are some of mine from 2008 and early 2009! Here is to a very productive late 2009/10 ahead of me!

Got a new camear and I'm out there trying to work out the kinks quickly. It's rough leanring a whole new camera when so used to another way of shooting!
On to the photos.
For reference the lenses used on these images are......
50mm f/1.4
50mm f/1.8
24-70mm f/2.8
Canon 28-135mm

I'll update another time with some of my faves I've shot over the years.. Including Incubus, Metallica, Lamb of God, The Red Chord, Collective Soul, Sister Hazel, Mushroomhead, Unearth, etc. I do all concerts from orchestra-metal-alternative-country. Good thing I like all music :)

the name's angie, i'm in orlando, florida :)

i'm a v.v. amateur photographer. i don't have any newfangled photog equipment or anything, i just started taking pics at shows; moreso when i got a digital camera since it cost less to transfer the pics onto my computer :) i like messing with the flash settings on my current camera (polaroid i530, it was $100 at walmart, came with an SD card and i was broke. of COURSE it sounded like a great deal!) to see how things come out. i'm weird, whatever. lol

a few of my fav shots from not necessarily my fave bands (cut for size). i'm sure this isn't necessary but for the pics i haven't tagged, please don't steal them! i've had at least one of my shots of a band passed off as others' and it sucks!

onto the showing:

( cut for huge pics that are not resized and stretch the layout to disturbing lengths. definitely not for dial-up users )

i think that's pretty much it...for my favorite shots, at least. lol i obv need to take my camera to more shows. and learn how to resize >_>;;

there's been a bit of a music drought in australia at the moment (or so it seems) so i haven't been out with my camera much.. but here's a couple of shows i shot in the past few months, in reverse order.
