Hi John,

It is tough, but I had the biggest struggle with the photos taken at the place
called "1000Fryd". The stage light consists of 4 PAR-lamps with 300W each,
which usually are covered with blue and orange filters. That leaves awfully
little light for the film, also because the stage is entirely painted with
black, absorbing paint.
Perspective? Well, yes and no. I try to isolate the musicians but also have a
couple of shots of the whole band. The best, however, turn out to be the ones
of single or a couple of musicians.
Another thing that thrills me about concert photography is to convey the
feelings. Without sound, only light and movement is left. I choose (if I can
afford) long shutter speeds to capture movement, if appropiate.

Thanks. I tried to keep the pages as simple as possible, allowing to navigate
through the pictures as swiftly as possible.
Best regards
Bernd
