As soon as I got there, I realised I needed a wider lens. I’m glad I had my 135mm but I wished I’d brought another camera with a 28mm lens. If this was wider you’d be able to see Annalie playing the piano, I’m not sure the photo the photo’s that interesting without knowing that.
This shot is also from my first go at push processing iso 400 film to 1600 using Ilford DD-X.

A few nights ago Annalie Wilson let me come and take some photos of her and the band. I took a mixture of film and digital, this is my favorite of the night which I took on a 135mm lens using Kodak Tri-x film. The gig was really dark and I pushed the film to 1600, not totally happy with rolls development, but interesting to see what I could change. I used Ilford DD-X think I might try HC110 next time.
I haven’t taken photos at a gig before and there are lots of things I’d wish I’d done differently, taken a much wider backup lens, developed the film more gradually to bring out some of detail in the shadow, been brave enough to take some photos behind the audience.
Hopefully I’ll get to do it again in the future.
