Capture by A photoblog

Great pics - thanks! We were seated (a million miles away) so good to see some of the up-close images. Almost took a camera, but thought it might get 'removed' - is it open slather these days?!

Excellent photos. Like Rob, I was seated up in the dark heights. The music was great but Cave was a distant, flailing figure. Obviously there are good spots at the Vector and not-so-good.

Really enjoyed the concert, but it's a stink music venue, imo. Horncastle in chch is the same - designed for netball/basketball, and good venues for big games.

Thanks for the comments. Not so much open, but my little Canon G16 doesn't seem to trouble most venues these days.

Although it does depend on the promoter and the venue. Last night at PJ Harvey I was told fairly plainly that if my camera comes out, I go with it. Which given the quality of most Phone cameras these days is a bit of a hopeless cause.

I was thinking about the sound on the night, and certainly standing at the front was a great place to get the sense of Nick Cave's voice, and when I went back by the desk, it was still good, but not quite as present. My experiences in the seats haven't always been so good.
