This photo is hot! Share it!
it's a joy to take pictures of alex, from guadalajara, mexico's DISIDENTE, one of guadalajara's (a city of 5 million) best live bands, and a cool guy as well. hope you like it!
shot with a canon 30d, 70-200 2.8., one of my first shows with the new lens. i went out into the crowd of about 2,000 rabid fans. it's a shell-shapped outdoor theatre. because it was a rock conciert, of course nobody was in their seats, so i stood on the seats with the rest of them. a bit risky, bc easily somebody could have bumped me hard and dumped me, but ya gotta risk something for great photos, right?

thanks for linking me here, i've actually seen this one before, i just didn't comment. i love this shot. the timing is priceless, and i like how the fog keeps all the focus on the actual subject. i lot of live shots can be really busy and distracting, but your eyes really stay put on this one. kudos.

Yeah, I like it. You definitely caught the energy and emotion that's necessary for a successful rock photo. I also like how the musician is framed by the dry ice smoke. It looks like he is jumping out from the clear area right behind him. Good work, you got my vote.

Yeah nice Marshall, good action and some great light too. It reminds me of that famous image of The Clash on the front of the London's Calling album. Not that he's smashing up his guitar just the same capture of raw rock aggression through the art of throwing shapes. Check out http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/535647.

Marshall I love this shot so much. You’ve completely captured this man’s energy and love for his art. The whirling smoke and his wild hair show movement along with the obvious height on his jump and throw of the guitar. The colors are wonderful. His dark clothing in contrast with the white smoke is fantastic. Your pov is awesome and the blur of his back foot is crazy good. I love his expression and I actually want to hear what he’s playing (because your photo is so good). I like the wave of the electric cord trailing down to the stage and the hint of other band members behind him. This is a fabulous shot and perfect for “On The Go”. Great work!
