Weezer show

My first stab at concert photography. This was at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

Nice!! At first I thought you'd used a flash but then realised it as just very bright stage lighting.

That dude goes all out in his costume selection doesn't he!! :headslap: I guess you don't go there to marvel at his colour coordination and dress sense though.

MA, actually they did go all out with their costumes at the start of the show...

Then they invited people on stage to help them get out of the costumes...

Very cool!!

good pics! It is tricky getting concert pics, but it helps when your seats are so close;)

Sweet! If I recall..you got a photo they wanted..did that help with getting these photos :)

Very cool btw!

Considering how eccentric Weezer is, the crossways angles of shooting are really quite effective. Very cool set!

very nice pictures!

who the heck is weezer?:confused:

Kat, I have to admit, it might have helped a little bit! I actually had a photographer's pass, so I got right up on by the stage with the pros. Pretty fun stuff!

Bambi, Weezer's an alternative rock band, they've had a few hits on mainstream radio.

I see Sidney's on the bass drum Jason...did he get a pass too and did the Weezer guys get to meet him? :)

Great shots also in tough lighting situations..!
