    Muse and Audience

    Taken at a recent Muse concert in Brighton England. I think it captures the occasion reasonably well.
    Hope you agree.

    Awesome, awesome band. I'm extremely jealous!

    I have to confess, the photo doesn't capture a Muse gig for me. I've been to several and this photo does nothing to capture the sheer energy these guys unleash. The band are too far away, there's no movement; the crowd are just clapping they should be bouncing!

    Nice try, get near the front next time!

    No photograph will capture the multimedia onslaught that this band hits you with and I know mine don't. But it was my intention to include as much of the audience as possible. I shot these hand held without the use of flash and I would not manage that up in the mosh pit. Ever tried it. I have and it is hard enough to keep myself perpendicular no less try to keep a steady camera.
    Here's another one from that night.

    No, that's true. I did try holding a camera at a gig once, but it wasn't mine and didn't get many decent photos. The band on the occassion was Ash, by the way!

    Personally I prefer the second image. It's instantly and obviously Muse! Roll on the new album...

    Cheers,
