Back in Session

The One Take Sessions returned to Cleeres Theatre on Thursday night, the 18th session, our first session of 2008 and my first gig shoot of the year.

I’m not going to go into detail about the gig, we’ll be doing a OneTake Sessions special on next weeks Sound System Podcast. But I have to say there were great performances all round from Stace Gill, Jill Deering, Kevin McNamara and Jester.

My first gig shoot of the year and my first chance to properly use my new flash. Over the last two years I’ve gotten used to shooting gigs in low or poor lighting. Last night I arrived to find two lights working in Cleeres; one white spotlight and a crappy yellow light, so having a proper flash means I now don’t have to worry about the lights. Although it does mean I have to learn how to shoot gigs with a flash, without losing the atmosphere.

Photos from the 18th One Take Sessions are now up in the KilkennyMusic Galleries, with plenty more to come.
