We first met Skid and his band last November at the Sex Pistols Experience gig in Bathgate. They were playing again at the Tattoo Convention, so I took a few photos.
The light was low which meant I had to have a high ISO setting. What that means, for those who don’t know, is it allows you to take photos is lower light without so much blurring of movement, but the downside is the images get “grainier”.
For photographing a punk band, however, this isn’t such a handicap, as it just makes the images look a bit grungier and more fitting.
Below are a few photos – the rest can be found in my Flickr and Facebook pages

What - I wonder - is the small boy in the blue t-shirt thinking?
ReplyDeleteAnd as a short person I thought people with HATS were hard to sit behind. :) Entertaining as usual.
ReplyDelete@Pat, I think it's somewhere between "Does that wash off?" and "Wonder if Mom will let me have some tattoos?"
Yes, that little boy in the blue t-shirt has caught my attention. Check out his haircut too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a world so completely alien to any I've experienced. I can't think of anywhere in the Caribbean...
Tame looking bunch...looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThe small boy in the blue tee shirt is thinking, "Grief! I gave up a Bach organ recital for this."
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and I laughed @Sandy's witterings. Too perfect !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Great picture. You captured the variety of the audience perfectly.
ReplyDeleteNow I think the little guy in the blue t-shirt is thinking, "I don't care how great the music is, I'm not going anywhere with dad again. So humiliating."
Gee Kim, for your entertainment you could post a photo a week and let us caption it. :)
ReplyDeleteKim, that last one with the kids in it is priceless! And those are some serious tattoos. With tattoos like that, you could practically do without clothes. Though maybe not in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, Hope, Guyana-Gyal, Allen, Sandy, Parsnip, Carole and Mary for taking the time to comment :)
ReplyDeleteAs practically all the comments are about the wee boy in the blue t-shirt, perhaps I should mention that he is, in fact, Skid's son, and was there with his friend (in the red t-shirt) and his mum (in black jacket, immediately behind him).
