Reading Festival 2007 Part 1
It's essential to use a light meter when dealing with a temperamental 35mm camera. Mine hadn't worked for close to two years when, all of sudden, it suddenly swung into life as I was standing in front of 5,000 fans at Reading Festival, wearing a bright yellow skirt that drew too much attention.

Walking out in front of that many people was nerve wracking. There was nowhere to hide and my knees kept knocking together. But after a while, I forgot they were there and roamed the stage, trying hard not to trip over wires.

I'm really pleased with how these turned out. Without a light meter, they'd be blurry, smoky and tinged with a red haze.

they look great.. god, how do you meter situations like this? I have never been good at band photography because I give up too quickly and start using flash!
