Raven weren’t quite my cup of tea, but still I got to confess that the guys played quite an entertaining show. Even though there were just the two Gallagher Brothers, it seemed like those guys were able to fill up the whole stage. Running from one end of the stage to the other they were quite busy interacting with the audience the entire time, pulling faces or switching from one rockstar pose into the next. Well done.

Shooting Notes
Since it hasn’t startet to go dark yet and the sun was up high shining on the front of the tentroof shooting at f3,5 to f4 at ISO 400 was no problem. I would have been able to get the ISO down to 200 too if I wanted to, but with the guys moving around the entire time I wanted to keep my shutter speed as high as possible, which was in the end between 1/400 and 1/800 of a second. But even then I got some unusable images in between to do motionblur. I was shooting this set with my Canon 40D and the 24-70 most of the time. I got the 70-200 out at the end to get some close ups.
