Orbital - Royal Albert Hall

Highlight: Get to do whole show....






Lowlight: ....From the back of the auditorium

Fill in: Orbital are notoriously hard to get photos of, the whole performance being basically a laser light show with the two main guys hidden behind a stack of techno equipment and what little you can see of their faces obscured by lights attached to their heads. But I'm always up for a challenge and put my name down for it. 
Tech spec: Metering is hard, but at t he very least I tried not to get to much light going directly into the camera or had a head or piece of techno gear obscure it. I kept the exposure pretty constant and just waited for the lights to be right to get a low enough contrast exposure to register. I also experimented with a few way out compositions and exposures and variations were none too forthcoming, and ended up with a pretty cool shot of the whole of the Albert Hall looking like it was being invaded by aliens.
