Leatherwolf kicks off Rocklahoma 2009
The third annual Rocklahoma July 9-12th 2009 in Pryor, OK kicked off with a newly formed “heavy” day on 07.09

The triple axe attack of Leatherwolf started the festival to the crowd of now old friends and associates who make the annual pilgrimage from around the globe to the summer festival.

Dean Roberts attacks the skins in the opening moments of Rocklahoma 2009.

Shooting the act kicking off the festival was fairly straightforward but presented challenges in terms of reach across the tremendous stage. The Nikon 70-200 2.8 was chosen for the long range paired with the Nikon 24-70 2.8 for the limited front of stage action as a result of the blistering Oklahoma sun and the mid stage placement of the monitors.

Mystic Prophecy @ Progpower USA XIII
Hailing from Bad Grönenbach, Germany power metal artists Mystic Prophecy perform during Progpower USA XIII in Atlanta, Ga. Shooting Notes: Tough shooting for this set with little lighting contrast and minimal front lighting. Exposures fell at a challenging 1/125 F2.8 ISO6400 at the extremes of exposure and challenging shutter speeds for a power metal performance. [...]

Godsmack @ Uproar 2012
Godsmack destroys the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival MainStage in Atlanta, Ga. > Photography Notes: Traditionally a notoriously challenging shoot, Godsmack brings their performance and production A-Game to the 2012 Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. While still a challenge, the first three provided backlight floods in red, yellow, and blue nicely balanced with contrasty follow-spots up front. [...]

Don’t forget the drummer: Shawn Crahan / Clown / Number 6
One of the great things about Slipknot live performances is that all artists in the group are featured equally. In particular the groups percussionists are positioned stage front on the right and left upon hydraulic risers which raise, lower, and spin continuously throughout the set. Slipknot Co-Founder and percussionist Shawn Crahan aka Clown aka Number [...]

Serenity @ Progpower USA XIII
Austrian based symphonic metal artists Serenity perform at Progpower USA XIII in Atlanta Ga. Photographer Notes: A challenging but manageable set with reasonable balance across the fixed house cans and LED floods. Lighting tended to stay in the red hues which oddly, for LED lighting tends to be the least intrusive. Exposures fell about 1/250 [...]

Fozzy @ Uproar
Fozzy headlines the Jägermeister stage at the Rockstar Energy Uproar festival 2012 in support of their fifth studio album “Sin and Bones” featuring the chart topping single “Sandpaper”.

Pretty Maids @ Progpower USA XIII
Danish classic metal artists Pretty Maids perform their first ever show in the US during Progpower USA XIII in Atlanta, Ga. One has to wonder how a band of this stature and influence has not performed in the US during their 30+ year career. Once again, Progpower USA pulls a ringer out of its hat [...]

Epica @ Progpower USA XIII
Dutch symphonic metal artists Epica headline day one of Progpower USA XIII at The Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Ga.
