Opening up for Awolnation, The Epilogues laid down a high energy set, complete with a pretty convincing cover of Filter's “Hey Man, Nice Shot.”

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

Overall, the Epilogue's set was pretty dimly lit, but with enough bright spots to shoot very comfortably with the Nikon D3 and D700. Of course, having no song limit is always a bonus, too, especially for opening bands who might get shorted on the lighting department.

Due to a stack of monitors along almost the entire front of the stage, this was more of a telephoto shoot than anything. Even in a club like Pop's, with its low and small stage, this sort of thing can happen. Still, nothing that the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 couldn't handle.
