Slam Dunk Festival Leeds 2016

Festival season is in full swing and this year I started it off by heading up North to photograph Slam Dunk Leeds. As a pop punk lover I always look forward to the Slam Dunk line-up being announced and am never disappointed. Last year I shot both the North and Midlands date, but this year I only photographed Leeds. One thing I do love about the North date is that the main stage is outside, win win!
As I've recently been testing out the Nikon D500 for Photography News and Professional Photo magazine and thought shooting a festival would fit perfectly. All of the shots were taken on the D500 with 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon lens. Here's some of my favourites...

Leeds Festival 2014 - Friday

A few months ago I was put down to shoot Leeds Festival for Hit The Floor magazine. I figured out that it was only a 2 hour drive from Peterborough and to be honest that's all the thinking I gave it because I never thought I'd actually get to shoot it. That was until about two weeks before the festival when I got a confirmation email, and couldn't believe it!

I took two cameras with me, my Nikon D7000 and a D7100 which I borrowed from work, and kitted them out with a 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 50mm f1/.8. The photopass that I had enabled me to shoot every stage except the main stage. Of course I'd have loved to have shot the main stage and hopefully one day I will, but there were still so many other amazing bands to shoot!

Here's a selection of shots from Friday in the order that they played, to see the full sets on Flickr just click the band name.
