Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

You know, I didn't expect this, but some of my favorite shots of the night were at 24mm with the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, like this one of Phil Campbell:

The last time I shot Motörhead was at the Pageant, which has a much taller (five-foot) stage. By contrast, the three-foot stage at Pop's made for a much more intimate feel (especially with all the Marshall stacks filling up the smaller stage).
