Lollapalooza Photo Review: Radiohead

What can I say, it’s Radiohead.  If your a regular reader of my site you already know I’m a big fan of them and their stand against the norm of the music industry.  Not just musically, but how they distributed their last album In Rainbows.  Anyway, I was excited to shoot them for the second time.  There is always an excitement about shooting someone as big as Radiohead and 3 songs seems to fly by in no time compared to others.  I think it went well, pushing and shoving my way around the photo pit to get the shots I wanted.  The stage was great, the weather finally cooled a little and pulling out the 300mm f/2.8 never hurts to get the closeups.  Nothing like an almost 7 lb off-white lens in the middle of a mosh pit.  I included a few photos today as a feature….enjoy.
