Light 03/01 - 03/07 (Josh)

I am a huge Muse fan. Crazy enough that I went to both the DC show at the Patriot Center on 03/01 and the Baltimore show at the 1st Mariner Arena on 03/03. A big bonus was that Silversun Pickups, whom I had been introduced to through Rockband and now I was also a big fan of were opening for Muse. Seemed like space and time collided perfectly!

Ok, enough of that. As you now, concerts are a pain in the butt to take pictures at. Flickering lights, lights in your face, no lights, it's all there. Therefore, I picked out two pictures from the Baltimore show at the 1st Mariner Arena that I really liked. Because I was able to get into the show with my nice camera (just tell the security guard it's a simple point a shoot), I made it a challenge at the concert to take a bunch of pics and be able to pick two to post without editing. I loved these two pictures that I captured, one with very minimal lighting, and one with an over abundance of light. Enjoy.

  1. I really like both your pictures josh. From the first one I love the lonely microphone, from the second one in the small version you cant really tell were the singer is looking at, is the crowd in front below the light or is the light behind him nicely confusing...
