Let's get a new...
Whatever it is, that statement means something old must go. Is it really unusable? Have you made an effort to ask if someone else is willing to take in that non-so-new furniture?

On assignment: Fahrenheit @ indoor stadium
When some people decide to name themselves after a temperature scale, I should have expected them to play it hot. But... not THAT hot. Read on to find out more...
No i'm not gay. I was referring to the literal meaning of hot, being so close to being barbecued by some hidden pyrotechnics. As they gathered for their first group pose, I rushed forward with my 11-16 and shoom! I was less than a meter from the nearest volcano, and the heat wave was intense. Picture wasn't great as the exposure was blown by the flames. Not worth the risk coming to think of it.The lighting for the first 3 songs were bland. No gobo-ed spotlights, no beautiful patterns, no back-lighting, just some crude LED screen behind making the stage look like some variety show. 4 spotlights beamed down on the singers, and when they converge, the exposure quadrupled. Their sweat resulted in some harsh specular highlights that were far from flattering. With no light patterns to compose with, their expressions and moves became the natural points to look out for.
But there were other problems. The stage was high. Lots of monitors lined the edge, making it hard to get a full body shot. I didn't want to move in too close after the first experience with those hidden pyrotechnics. So in the end it was more of those cliche tele shots which you don't gain much satisfaction from.
For the third song they walked down a catwalk, allowing for more refreshing angles. Here i mounted the fisheye and flash and unleashed a lightning storm back at them. =)Just as i pack up to leave, an abundance of lighting effects filled the stage. What a taunt!
