Once again I find myself arriving to shoot a show far too early again. Out with the phone.. nearest chicken shop this time, please. Ahh, there is one close. I was due to shoot for Bawdsville at the Ram Jam Club in Kingston. So munching on the chicken I checked my kit for the third time since I left home. It would be most embarrassing turning up at a show without a camera, I'm not a good sketch artist!
I met with the host Unruly Scrumptious to have a quick chat about where best to stand. There was also a couple of people who were there to video the show too, so I had a quick chat with them to see where wished to record from. Compared to other venues, this is a more intimate performing area and darker than I am used to. However, there is always a sufficient amount of light in the centre area of the stage so shots were timed to get the best of each performance.
Down the middle of the area was a clear space between the seats where the performers would walk to the stage. I shot along this line as there would be little chance of anyone getting in the way. The usual work duo of the Canon 70d and the Canon 24-105 f4 L lens was with me and helped to capture some great shots. These of course were delivered within 24 hours via a Dropbox link.
Thanks to Unruly Scrumptious for asking me to shoot!
