I have always loved taking pictures. There’s pretty much no photographs of me that I didn’t take myself from ages 14-26 because I’m always behind the camera. But what really glued me to photography was shooting concerts and local shows with my little P&S camera.

I haven’t gotten a chance to take me SLR to a show much since the baby was born (for obvious reasons), so I was happy to play around at my husband’s new band’s practice yesterday. We were supposed to do a formal show but they were short a member so that had to wait.

Anyway, here’s some shots from yesterday. I played around with my DIY Snoot and some flash drag.

This guy, Rob doesn’t move around as much as the other guys so I played around with jerking the camera to give the photos a little more motion:

I used the snoot to light up selected parts and pieces

And had good time with my off-camera flash from overhead, below, and the side!

My super-awesome friend MetalGeorge (of Metal Maniacs fame for those in the heavy metal know) is also hooking me up with a photopass to Soilwork February 9th. Can’t wait for that.
