Above and below are a small selection of the photographs I took at W.H. Lung<\/a>‘s Soup Kitchen gig back in December of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s fair to say I am out of practice when\u00a0it comes to gig photography\u00a0 – the last\u00a0time was same band’s debut show back in 2017<\/a> – but it’s always fun to get the lapsed muscle-memory working again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the night, I arrived at Soup Kitchen<\/a> only a short time before bands stage time, making my way quickly to the left side of the stage and prepped my camera based on the darkness-shrouded stage. Despite it being a fair few years since I last visited, the basement venue seemed to have barely changed in the interim. Thankfully, a bright light illuminated the singer* when the band arrived onstage, which opened up the photographic possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with my manual lens, I ended up taking over 500 photographs, as trying to capture shots featuring both a decent light balance along with being in focus proved tricky. I edited down the mass of images to the gallery viewable here on flickr<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* I’m unsure at the moment what the current state of play is for revealing information about the band. As far as I can find, there’s still no information online and I don’t want to be the one spoiling things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
