    There are full of good bands, and sometimes there's a great one. This is one of them. Glad to hear them at the onset of their "career".

    • @LouSmith

      Haha. You make their ‘career’ sound like an illness. I like to think of an outset where everything is potential and nothing impossible. But yes, people will look back on these early days with rose tinted hindsight, and say I was there.

      Woo. That’s intense. You’re welcome. Strange to think of the unintended consequences that my efforts have brought. Thanks for sharing your one.

    Ian Hunter's grandson on lead vocals. (The sunglasses mostly)
    Most of my favorite bands have been the ones whose music is difficult to describe or find a musical frame of reference for people who aren't the music obsessive I am.
    The sheer joy of hearing something unique seems lost on a lot of music "fans."

    ❤ A special night for a special band. Great capture, how do you eliminate the 'famous' Windmill stage light saturation? Kills my pathetic viddys! And all in focus, too. Great work xx

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  5 місяців тому +2

      🙏 can’t be giving away all my secrets now. Focus is all manual. By eye, sometimes by distance estimate. Increasingly by muscle memory.

    • @CarloRoberto-qs7oi
      @CarloRoberto-qs7oi 5 місяців тому

      @LouSmith yes, I tried aperture last night to open up for light but of course that narrows the depth. A bit of manual maybe tomorrow night. Will get there in the end...

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  5 місяців тому +2

      @gvid1 it’s usually quite dark there, so always a battle to get enough light, so a filter will be useful only to keep flying beer out of your lens, though it is invaluable for that. 😃
