Let England shake is truly album of the year, such a memory of an autumn field in laois

I think the 2nd shot is brilliant. Have tried gig photography & gave it up 'cos the lighting is always crap & my hit rate has been tiiiiiiiny....

1st shot doesnt work for me b/c the face is invisible.The 2nd one is a bullseye - b/c you have face, eyeballs, expression, colour, focus,exposure & great background. I salute you!

I don't what it is about the first one , but i prefer it - i know it shouldn't work , but it works for me - maybe atmospheric - cheers

once theres that much red light its usually game over, the second one is cracking, the first, not my bag, was at the gig tho, blew me away

Love both shots Barry, I had seen Public Enemy in Brixton many moons ago (80's) and your picture brings a great night back to life. Second shot is excellent, something really soothing (maybe) about it

Maybe the knowledge of the experience is influencing your view of the photo. The second one is a fantastic photo IMO while the first could have been taken by anyone at any gig.

Last one - Arcade Fire - unsure of

Borderfox

Very cool Barry

thebaz

thanks Keith was unsure if it worked - not my usual thing

Theres a real 3d element to the lead singer on the left, really nice. Cant decide if the drummer could be cropped out?

Love the second one, really evocative with the clouds and the colour of her hair etc. Great shot well done!

The first one... we'll I was at the gig in EP too and the pic definitely captures the energy they put out. The noise is a pain and makes the image look like it was a smart phone snap, the blur would work to show the energy and action if it werent for the noise imho. Then it just looks, bad.
