I need to get myself one of those 14-24 bad boys. Possibly a stupid question, but what ISO did you shoot at, and do you meter manually as you go or shoot RAW and stick to aperture priority? There's such clarity in these shots. I'm on a D3 and 70-200 Nikkor too, post processing in Lightroom and CS3, generally shooting at ISO1600 but I seem not to get anywhere near this level of punch and clarity...!!

How do you get a gig like this? I was fortunate enough to see the actual contract Aeromith signed in 2006 and go my Canon S2 IS in. I watched the entire show through the lens and was elated. That was the Motley Crue add in and so it was a double bonus. These shots are absolutly perfect. Having been to many many Aero shows, you truely captured the essence of the atmosphere here. Have spoken with 3 pro photographers lately and everyone seems to be using Nikons. Guess it's time to switch up! Beautiful shots!! How do you get a gig like this?

I'm still a little jealous we missed out on ZZ Top – that would have been a killer double bill. Hey Brian,

Thanks for adding a bit more on the setup, I hope some people shooting the tour read this. I’m still a little jealous we missed out on ZZ Top – that would have been a killer double bill.

The videographer was positioned in the corner where the stage and catwalk met, with room for one limber photog to jam his way around if he was feeling brave. Fortunately, Tyler and Perry seemed to recognize this and made sure to spend a bit of time on the main stage in front of us sardines in the pit. I've heard that for some shows they let half of the photogs shoot from the other half of the stage (which is where we shot ZZ Top from), but at Mohegan they were clearly flying from the seat of their pants figuring out what to do with everyone. Definitely some frustrated photogs in the pit that night, but I personally had a blast. They definitely didn't do Joey Kramer any favors with the stage setup for this tour -- good luck to anyone hoping to get a nice shot of the drummer!
