Comments on: Drive-By Truckers @ the Pageant — 2008.02.29 http://ishootshows.com/2008/03/04/drive-by-truckers-the-pageant-20080229/ Sat, 17 May 2008 04:38:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Todd http://ishootshows.com/2008/03/04/drive-by-truckers-the-pageant-20080229/#comment-5746 Todd Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:55:00 +0000 http://ishootshows.com/2008/03/04/drive-by-truckers-the-pageant-20080229/#comment-5746 Hi, thanks for the comment. I made a few shots of the full band, but I didn't select any for the final set. The band was relatively spread out along the stage, so that the wide-angle shots that include all five members lack focus and impact for me. Another factor was the high stage. But I wholeheartedly agree – ideally I would love to have a tight group shot for every band I shoot, especially an act like Drive-By Truckers. I've seen shots from smaller venues that enabled full-band shots a little better. Hi, thanks for the comment. I made a few shots of the full band, but I didn’t select any for the final set.

The only thing missing are pictures of the band as a whole. I know you get up really close which makes those difficult but the DBTs really are the sum of their parts and being able to get the whole band in one shot is necessary to really appreciate the experience.

There are precious few compliments that carry greater weight than hearing from a longtime fan that the images have captured the essence of a band. Glad to hear you enjoyed the review as well. This show easily ranks in my top 5 shows of all time. Hey Danny, I greatly appreciate the feedback.

It's always my goal to make the best images you'll see of a band, but going into this show I thought there was the opportunity to really produce some great shots. Glad to hear you enjoy them.

Glad you enjoyed the shots, I hope I wasn’t in your way during the show. Which shot of Cooley are you thinking of?

It’s all love, but I’ve been known to do prints.

There is one of Cooley where Todd couldn't have been but maybe 5-6 feet from me. Awesome. Todd do you sell prints or do you simply post images for free for the love of doing it? There is one i may be interested in. I was at this show, and is really cool to get to relive it a bit through these excellent photographs!
