Have a Cigar Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Pink Floyd Experience - 27000 watts of lighting created so many excellent opportunities for pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't have the freedom of a tripod nor was I allowed to approach the stage (as in my BB King pictures).

This Pink Floyd Cover band was amazing; sounded exactly like the records (with the exception of some of the sound samples/synth keys). One of the male vocalists hit all the high notes normally kept for the women vocalist featured on some of their songs. Other times the sax would play her part.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think.

Ciao Alan,
I think you took a good shot!
Nice silhuette in a difficult light situation.
It's little bit out focus but OK.
See you soon...

Well, since I ADORE PF, I couldn't stay indifferent to this great photo. I like the contrast, this orange and black combination of colors and the musicians on stage...everything is good. Maybe u could have taken a bigger pic and cropped the left side or I'll just do an RP if I'm not lazy:)
Regards,
Gordana.

Great colors. They were performing exactly this song at the moment?

I had the opportunity to see Pink Floyd live back in 1995. It was the las concert they did in North America. They played the Dark Side of the Moon completely plus tracks of almost every other album. The silo adds a great atmosphere here. TFS.

Hi Alan.
I like this picture with the nice balance between shadow and light. The technical realisation is relatively fine (even if a bit more sharpness would have been nice) and the horizontal crop works very well.
I am a big fan of Pink Floyd and I miss this band since their last album and tour in the nineties (even if they were not in their best creation period at this time). Nevertheless I was lucky enough to see one of their concert in 1993 and I will not forget it! I realize that a lot of people would like to get a bit of the real Pink Floyd experience and that's the reason why some of these tribute bands are creating more or less everywhere with sometimes really talentuous musicians. My only concern is that I think it would be much better for them to create their own music rather than to do systematic covers, but that's another story...

Thanks for sharing.
