It’s taken me two full days and two weeks of late evenings, but I’ve
finally edited all of my photos from Sonisphere!
Buying a 70-200mm f/2.8 was definitely a smart decision and
it’s done me well (and so did the step stool I brought, festival stages are
super high!) The one thing I’ve learnt about shooting a festival is that your
feet/legs/back will hurt from walking and carrying so much stuff, nevertheless
I’d happily do it again! I also met some mega lovely photographers who were
super friendly. There’s definitely a different atmosphere in the photo pit at a
festival (well atleast Sonisphere), everyone is very courteous of each other.
That’s not saying I have trouble in most photo pits, but there’s definitely been
a fair few ‘egos’ at smaller shows who think they can push you out of their way…
Here’s a selection of shots from Friday in the order that they played, the full
galleries will be on my
Flickr, with a selection of photos over at
Hit The Floor.
