Itchy Trigger Finger

Trig Promotions Group Shot.  Some members of both bands missing.

It’s suprising how easily distracted one can get when there are buckets of photos to be put up online.  Its gotten a little dead around the rayobrien.com shelves.  Not that many gigs going on at the same time that i have a night off.  And a night not off was a long time ago!  With a few days this week to scratch my bum a little i have decided (not influenced at all by Aido giving out to me at the weekend) to dig up some old photos that should have gone up ages ago.  Im also going to start taking more photos again.  I have a CD cover to prepare for.  Concept art is done, now all i have to do is create the assets and build the full res layout and piece it all together.  Oh, and of course, release the CD long side a big green mushroom cloud!

Shown bellow is a series of photos taken during the last second edition of Trig promotions featuring; first time on stage “A Message from Vega”, nationwide known Tool tribute band “The Grudge” and one of Dublin’s biggest metal outfits “Hero in Error” with their really tight t-shirts for sale!?!  Even Jimmy had trouble fitting into a small.  Best cut out those cheese burgers dude

Apologies again to everyone for the lateness of the photos.

Dublin Metal band, 23’s bassist performing at the Zoo Underground re-opening gig. The venue had been filled with smoke during the previous set which had now cleared out completely. This was the first time to actually try balance on a speaker while trying to not get knocked over by a mass of kids moshing their hearts out! Shot at 1/40 4.5f with a focal length of 17. A slight level and saturation change in this shot.
