Peder Carlsson - Backyard Babies - Summer Breeze Open Air 2009

The Day was coming to an end so the time was right for some Rock’n’Roll with the Backyard Babies from Nässjö, Sweden. Around for more then two decades, the Band is known for their intense show and nothing less was expected of them this eve. Especially drummer Peder Carlsson was rocking the house from his kit and pushing the others forward, which gave Andreas „Dregen“ Tyrone Svensson a rocksolid base to torture his guitar and be all over the place.


Shooting Notes

This actually was a tough one. The overall light was pretty good, but the problem I was facing was missing frontlight. With Singer and Guitarplayer Nicke Borg wearing a hat pulled deep into his face and standing pretty static at his micstand, I had trouble to get light into his eyes. A little fill flash was the solution here. But with the overall brightness being pretty intense for a concert, it was a bit hard balancing the ambiente light with the flash exposure. In the end I was shooting this gig with the standard ISO of 800, wide open at f2.8 and a shutter speed between 1/60 and 1/200 .
