Tom, great shot. really well executed.

I do have to take a bit of exception w/ this statement though:

“In order to capture really great pictures you essentially have to divorce yourself from your surroundings completely and not care about whether you’re ruining the show for the audience if you want the best shots.”

I think you can be discreet and not in the audience’s way and still deliver the goods…in fact, it’s pretty much expected from any concert shooter. If you are ruining the show for others, you won’t get very far in this line of work.

I can attest to the fact how hard it is to shoot in such conditions. But you really nailed this one Tom. Perfect exposure, perfect expression, and black and white makes it a classic. .-= Eric Kim´s last blog ..Midnight Silhouette in Apgujung =-.
