In The Garden
In The Garden had all the elements of an epic night. A great Exeter city centre location, nice weather (for September), a quality line up of artists and 4500 tickets sold. So when I was asked by Hold It Down to cover Exeter's biggest ever music festival with MusicMuso I didn't need to be asked twice!
As usual on The Unplugged Blog I'm going to let my images do the talking and I'll leave my friends over at MusicMuso to wax lyrical about the event (a full review will be on their website really soon). But one thing I can say is that the packed out crowd had an awesome night and were treated to some of the UKs finest musical talent.
Here, let me show you...
As you can see it was a bit of an epic night and it was a lot of fun to shoot. It's always good fun at the festivals as you get to photograph artists on a big stage and the crowd enjoying themselves.
Well, that's about it from me. Keep an eye out on my Twitter feed and this blog for a very special post that I'll be making this week. I'm also shooting the Bluetones this Sunday night in Bristol, so you can see some images from that gig both on my Twitter feed and here on the blog.
On a technical note....
As regular readers will know I like to tweet images live from the gig to my Twitter feed. I had some real issues with this on Saturday night though. In certain locations around the In The Garden event my tablet struggled to maintain its WiFi connection to my camera. As you can imagine this made tweeting images rather difficult! I'm not sure what the issue was as my workflow is normally rock solid in the field (including other festivals). It could have been the density of people (and mobile phones), or the radio transmitters that had been installed. I'm not sure which it was, but something I'll need to be aware of for next time!
See you next time...
