I’m curious about how you got the photo pass and credentials to shoot the show (and especially RATM). Were you shooting for a publication?

Hey Bobin, that’s great to hear you’re working with RS in India, very cool. That shot of Chan was a nice surprise, I’m glad something from the fest made it out there.

Rage shots coming up!

Hey Todd! I work with Rolling Stone India, and we keep getting copies of the US Rolling Stone. And it was fantastic to see your name in there, on the Lollapalooza page!! :)

Waiting for the RATM shots!

Yes, I went with theh D700 over the D300, simply because I wanted to maintain a base “image platform.” Since the D3 and D700 share the same sensor and image processors, it’s a seamless transition to switch between cameras. I can process the files in the exact same manner, which is a huge plus for workflow efficiency.

Also, I use my Kinesis bag system when shooting events. Generally, I only use the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home for shorter events where I’m in and out.

Todd, so you went and got the D700 as a second body. All that gear fit in your 7MDH? I have a similar setup and I’m still looking for that “perfect” bag. Also, out of pure curiosity, are you represented by any of the big photo agencies? cheers!

Big festivals like Lollapalooza are hugely different than an indoor gig with just a few bands.

Lighting, security, photogs, pit, access, credentials, shooting technique, equipment, the list goes on and on. Do you have a specific question?

so i was wondering - what’s the big difference between outdoor shows and indoor venues other than the obvious low light situation?

Oh, it’s that free Rage show in Denver. Actually, you’re right, it might get a little silly. But I still think you’ll be OK with the Fuji, you can always put it in your pocket, right?

I wouldn’t want to be in the crowd with a DSLR when people start going off during “Bulls on Parade” or anything like that.

I’ll see what I can do with about the “teaser” shots — maybe it can be a game. Who can name all 19 bands from the thumbnails?
