The Florida based band shot to fame in 2003 mainly due to their “Lynyrd Skynyrd” cover “Simple Plan”. The album “Leave a Whisper” and their promotional tour were a huge success. And thus the fame of the band kept on growing. It was thrilled when I saw that they were coming to Luxembourg and even more when I was accredited to shoot them. Their show was impressive, there was so much going on onstage that it was difficult to take pictures, but a treat to watch. The icing on the cake came with the information of the support act for their gig: “Halestorm“, anther awesome band.
On a technical note: The light was a mixture of good and not so good, sometimes really harsh and then very bright with a lot or reds. An then absolute darkness. Brent Smith was quite static in the middle of the stage but the rest of the band was all over the place delivering and awesome show. I used the 28-75mm F2.8 and the 15mm F2.8 Fisheye for this gig. Same here with the ISO, I had to keep it quite high.
