The Haunted – Summer Breeze Open Air 2009
Posted by Daniel at 16. November 2009 | Category Festival, Live, Photography, Pictures
The Haunted are one of my favourite Bands, I just can’t be really objective when writing about their show. Most of the time I don’t have to be objective, because in 99% of the time the Band just simple rocks. Nothing else happened this day. The Band, tight and intense as always, came on stage and was owning the crowd from the first second on they started playing. Within minutes there was the first moshpit going on and the people went crazy. Singer Peter Dolving even got down from the stage and walked through the crowd parting them like moses the red sea (yeah, I’m getting all biblically on you ;o) ), which ended irrevocably in a wall of death.
Shooting Notes
As before I had to deal with the high stage, which wasn’t that bad shooting The Haunted because the guys kept moving and stayed close to the edge of the stage. I was mostly shooting with the 70-200 which got me nice portraits. The ISO was set to 200, the shutter speed at 1/400 and the aperture at f4… simple, easy and sharp. When Peter Dolving jumped into the crowd and just went passed me at the end of the show, I luckily got the 24-70 on the camera so I got some shots of him walking by. For the following Wall of Death the 24-70 (on a crop camera) was unfortunatly not wide enough.
