So, over the last month, I have been doing some great stuff, but not really had the time to blog about it… So now I shall blog!
Over the last few weeks, I have been doing some filming at Dersingham Bog for my 3 Minute Wonder unit at college. Some of the footage that we have captured, is absolutely amazing. Running lizards, urinating bees and hovering dragonflies. Some truly amazing stuff that we were really lucky to get on camera! That is currently in the post production stages, so look forward to that online very soon.
Now, time for the amazing part. On Tuesday 5th October, I travelled up to Hull University to watch rising UK band Young Guns. I was down as a street teamer anyway, so I got free entry into the gig. However, on the 3rd October, I contacted their manager, and asked if it was OK if I could take photos of their set. And to my surprise, he said yes! As soon as I got confirmation, I started a frantic search for a flashgun, as I didn’t want to take mediocre photos with my built-in flash, when I could potentially take amazing photos with a flashgun. Luckily, my good friend, David Fox, leant me his. So, after picking up the flashgun from David, I commenced the four hour drive to Hull. After a thoroughly enjoyable gig, and some amazing photos, I eventually got in at 4am on the Wednesday morning!
On that Wednesday though, I got an email back from the press manager of Architects (I asked to be a photographer at the Norwich dare of the tour back in March). Inside that email, was the running order for the Architects gig on the Thursday (7th). I took my camera along, David’s flashgun including, and snapped away. Unfortunately, the flashgun was running out of batteries, making it hard to get any decent amount of photos. Although, While taking photos of one of the support bands, I had a crowd surfer land straight on my head! The whole point of being round in front of the crowd is so that our equipment stays safe, then that happened! Oh well, such is life!
At the bottom of this blog post will be a select number of photos from the Young Guns and Architects shows, but for a wider selection of photos please feel free to check out my Facebook page: Jamie Randall Photography©. If you haven’t already, I would greatly appreciate if you would “like” my photography page, and spread the word!
Until next time, when ever that may be… Stay frosty!
