In the air

In the air, a photo by Howy White on Flickr.

First time shooting a band at a live gig, and discovered it`s not easy.
The shots came out grainy and soft, but I think I managed to capture the atmosphere and will be definitely giving it another go.
Presence are the band by the way, and they were playing The Studio, Hartlepool.
It`s all in the settings and knowing your camera.. practice practice practice.

Reeds

Reeds, a photo by Howy White on Flickr.

A trip out to the lakes.
I pulled over the car in a lay-by, which proved to have attracted many photographers.
After firing off the camera beside the other guys, I spotted the reed patch and got some low shots. I think they add to the shot, giving a sense of depth.
