Close up pictures

[mackemlad]

I have been looking at some pictures of the Millan 1 show and there are some cool ones of the claw in all its finery all lit up etc.

Does any one else think the close up photos of the band look a little dull?
By that I mean 4 band members on stage with nothing behind them but blackness.

Im sure being up close to the band is as awesome as it ever was but with the absence of any rear screen there is nothing in the way of colour to brighten up the pictures.

Not being critical just an observation.

By the way when Im GA at Hampden I wil still be there early to get close, blackness ot not

By blackness do you mean 1000's of peope behind the band

Yeah, the best pics of the band are when there's a leg of the claw right behind a band member, all lit up, as a backdrop, with the crowd / cell phones behind that. I know what you mean.

These are not bad?

I kind of like the nice clear views, I think it is a good compromise, those up close get great views of the band and those further back get the whole claw effect. You pick you spot and make the choice. I am going to more than one show so I plan on doing the up close bit and also the further back bit.
