  MONSTER METAL FEST - VAUX HALL - MONS - 080426 CONCERT, PHOTOGRAPHY | (1)

  Spent the entire day at the Vaux-Hall in Mons where 15 hardcore and metal bands showed the audience what they are made of ... Not the safest place for a photographer to be as the photo pit had to trade place with a huge mosh pit and people stage diving every 5 seconds . I even saw a photographer smashed to the ground next to me when someone jumped from stage right on top of him , hope he is ok ... I shot about 35 giga of raw pics ,so processing them will take me a little bit longer as usual . Anyway , gallery will ...

  EMILIE AUTUMN+SIEBEN @ CC LUCHTBAL 080424 CONCERT, LUCHTBAL, PHOTOGRAPHY | (2)

  I really don't know where to begin... I went there on 2 friends recommendation. One told me: You have to see Sieben! This guy is incredible!! The other told me: Go see Emilie, you will not be disapointed. And indeed, it was like falling deeper and deeper in the Rabbit Hole !! Welcome to Alice in Wonderland !! And Wonder you will see!! Beginning with a reading by Emilie herself. Something I believe she do not do every shows. Followed by Sieben (Matt Howden) alias the Violin Wizard (© someone I know ;-)). That's true, he is really a Wizard: loops, ...

  65DAYSOFSTATIC+TRANSIT @ BOTANIQUE 080421 BOTANIQUE, CONCERT, ORANGERIE, PHOTOGRAPHY | (0)

  Loud !!! It was pretty loud for my old ears !! But you know what ??? I did like it it !! First time I saw and heard 65daysofstatic was in march this year. They did support for The Cure. This set was better than the one I saw in Antwerp !! I still have my ears 'tuuting'. People are talking to me but I cannot clearly understand what they are saying (in some way, that's good :-) ). About the light show itself... argh... backlight (repeat 3 time) and a lot of strobes ! All ...

  YEAR OF NO LIGHT-NADJA-FEAR FALLS BURNING @ BOTANIQUE 080418 BOTANIQUE, CONCERT, PHOTOGRAPHY, WITLOOFBAR | (0)

  Concerts @ botanique and especially the "Witloofbar" area ... This equals bad or low stage light, very limited space to shoot from, but on the other hand , Lot's more atmosphere compared to bigger stages! Fear Falls Burning played a very short first set , about 15 minutes ! The stage was almost dark and only lit by one blue spot ... I was quite curious to see Nadja , playing second , and their gig turned out to be a nice surprise. The same stage light as the previous band , still quite a short set (about 30 minutes) and both band members almost the ...

  ALASKA IN WINTER-THE BRUNETTES @ BOTANIQUE 080415 BOTANIQUE, CONCERT, PHOTOGRAPHY, ROTONDE | (1)

  galleries are up As usual, trying to take pictures in La Rotonde (Botanique) is like chasing shadows in total darkness!!! It's just do not work!! That's why I asked Robin if I could use his D3 for the night. Oh God (with a big G) what a camera, High ISO is the best gift Nikon's engineers ever gave us (ok, this is my point of view) !! More than that, I was not sure about Alaska In Winter light show. I was right. They have none !! Projection screen (who by the way is really nice and works well for the show), front ...
