As the second band hitting the stage in Hellsinki Industrial Festival - Pre-Club event was Pedigree. An alternative industrial metal band from Estonia that was completely new to me before this night, so I cannot tell much more about them, but I will definitely be looking out for any of their future visits to Helsinki.

The gear and the challenges

Most of their show was a bit hard to shoot because stage lights were completely blue most of the time. So when they added a bit more colors or at least added more light to the stage, I just tried to take as many photos as I could. I had two cameras with me and the other one had Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM on it and its focus is so slow that I rather just use manual focus with it. I wish I had known that Sony was about to release a Mark II version with way faster auto-focus only slightly after I bought my Mark I.
But that's life. Sometimes tech upgrades just when you think you're keeping up with it and I gotta admit that I'm eyeing the new Sigma 150-600mm Sports for next summer.

The other camera had Sony 24mm F1.4 GM with PrismFX anamorphic effect filter creating those wide flares to the photos. For some reason, I really like to add some dynamic-looking light to the photos, and it's also nice to have two distinct styles of photos in the bunch.

"Can I download and share these photos?" - Yes absolutely you can and should! I appreciate it if you can tag @samaelcreative to your posts for the credits, but all Samael Creative event photos are meant to be shared.

"Can I have a print-quality version?" If you are the artist, person in the picture, event organizer, or label then yes it's possible. I do charge a fee based on what the photo is used for and in most cases, a print-quality version requires further editing aka more work. Contact me with further information about the use and I'll be happy to give you an offer.
