Coke Live Music Festival Pt.1 – 19-20 VIII 2011 – Kraków, Poland

I hate shooting a big festival and having the worst lights ever. The small tent had only rear and upper lights and no fronts. ISO as high as 3200 won’t help a thing and the only lights available are really shitty. You either have to have Nikon’s SBs scattered around the set or be a Superman to come up with good visual stuff. Apart from that it was the first time I’ve tested Nikkor 80-200, which, with a crop, happens to be a great zoom. I’m selling my old Sigma 50-150, because it’s not an FX lens. If you’re interested in buying, contact me (froger3[@]gmail.com).

The publication got the colored ones but I played more with the pics and did the no-so-festival-like black and white style I usually use for hardcore and small club show. The rest of Coke Live is too colorfull to be published in BW – just the gigs from the small stage + Interpol, because their light sucked even more then those in Barcelona. However, I’m pretty happy with the shots and the post-production. Never seen such pics of Olivia Anna Livki or Parias done in that way!
Fans of You And Me At Six or The Kooks be patient. Those will be coming in shortly!

Didn’t have time to upload stuff from the summer but I’m still trying . “Pitty” more and more photos come in:)
