Seems the crowd shots are popular! Machine Head's performance was actually one of the only ones at Mayhem where I went out of my way to photograph the crowd, but I'm glad it paid off.

I hope that as a fan of this band, the images meet with your approval. The sun was setting behind the stage as Machine Head was playing, so that wasn't a problem. Also, they played on a stage that didn't have an open back or sides, so they were pretty well shaded. Thanks again for the comments! Hey Celso,

Love the fourth shot of the guitar player head-bangin! Guess you got lucky with sun position eh? Oh and I loved the crowd portraits, and that last one looks anything but a Machine Head Hardcore Fan, and still she surfs that crowd, sweet! I was just thinking, today Todd should put some stuff up, and bang the google reader notifier showed up! Guess I can go off to sleep now! Best Regards! Swwwwweeeeeeet!

That first shot of the crowd was with the 14-24mm, definitely. Needless to say, the crowd for Machine Head was fantastic and threw up the horns and brutal claws on command. Yes, I think Keith was using the 17-55mm on the D300 the whole time. I don't think I saw him twist on the 80-200mm once during Mayhem Fest, actually. Hey Chris,

That first shot is ridiculous! 14-24?! Better watch out for the frontal, bulbous element -- it's gonna get shattered! Keith told me about how someone spit on it during the show and you just looked at him like, "Ah... man." Haha. Great energy from the crowd -- that is always something great to see, and usually isn't photographed. It's nice to see, though -- adds some spice. I'm also finding myself liking tighter shots like number 3 -- just really enjoy them up close with the mic like that. Although, you can't really beat number 4 with a slamming head that shows the real mayhem. And that last shot of the girl crowd-surfing is pretty rockin, what a cool photo. Although, I guess I should mention <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2712143521_a609660d6f.jpg" rel="nofollow"> this </a> last one, because it has tons of great elements: two guitarists, a drummer, a hand in the air, a 14-24, and KEITH (with his what, 17-55 and hood?). Nice set! Can't wait to hit up some shows myself! (I neeeeed it, I haven't done it in so long!) Man! That first shot is ridiculous! 14-24?!
