I shoot a good number of shows. But a few days ago, this happened...
Airbourne is an Australian rock band, similar to old AC/DC. And they put on a helluva show! For starters, they gave us 5 songs to shoot (instead of the normal 3). At the end of the 5th song, the singer smashed open a beer and sprayed the crowd. I was right under him, with a wide angle. And while many photogs ducked to protect their cameras and lenses, I shot away and got a great series of 5-6 images, this one being my fave.
Needless to say, I'm damn happy I have filters on my lenses. And I just spent a bit of time cleaning my bodies and lenses that were splashed with the beer. I came out of it pretty soaked. On the 6th song, when we werent allowed shooting, the singer got on the shoulders of a roadie who carried him to the bar, where he stood to do a guitar solo.
Pretty intense show I must say. Probably one of the better shows I've shot in the last few years.
Why do I like this shot? Mix of the name of the band in the back, singer's expression and the awesome beer arc over his head lol
