hi, I’m nick and I’m another of the merry band of bloggers playing with some shiny Samsung cameras. I started out on a compact camera about four years ago and now work for agencies and media organisations at gigs and festivals across the country (though I should point out on a dSLR now!) so going back to using a compact camera has proved an interesting challenge!
Last weekend was the first ‘proper’ festival of my summer - the one and only Glastonbury. I won’t try and do a review, because that would be over-stretching my writing abilities, but I’ll try give you a flavour of the weekend with a few photos, all of which were taken on a Samsung PL60.
while the inital weather looked like being a washout, things picked up and the general dress code was shorts, wellies and suitably over-the-top sunglasses! Here’s the park stage, complete with glorious blue sky.
The Park was, once again, the scene of various special guest appearances.
two notable mentions go to the Klaxons, who turned up dressed as characters from Tim Burton movies for their set, and the Dead Weather - aka Jack White, Alison from The Kills, one Raconteur on bass and a Queens of the Stone Age guitarist thrown in for good measure.
One of the bands I caught who really impressed me were the Horrors - they played the penultimate set on Friday night and were a real highlight. Here’s a view from the side of stage.
this year, I’ll be covering several other festivals and before gig season gets underway again in September - next up is T in the Park.
So, until next time, cheers!
