Lowlight: Red Carpet Duty. I'm not great at celebrity spotting.
Fill in: Weirdest award moment: Ronnie Wood receiving best newcomer!Brief for this job is Red Carpet Duty, followed by performances, followed by awards snap in front of sponsors boards, followed by aftershow party. All of it to be turned around at the end of the night so it's pretty full on.

This year the entertainment was provided by songbird Beverley Knight, girl band Wonderland, electronic revival artists The Sound of Arrows and the inimitable Pixi Lott.

Tech Spec: The Red Carpet usually demands a side bracket mount for your flash in order to avoid the nasty side shadow that is caused by shooting portrait format shots, however as most of my images are for the internet and I shoot at very high res. I tend to shoot everything landscape, so there is an option to crop to portrait. You only get a couple of seconds to grab Red Carpet stuff so every shot counts and I can't afford for the best shot to be in the wrong format.
