Title: 2013 Photo Recap
Post by: MatHayward on December 24, 2013, 14:26

Some of you that know me are aware that a big part of my photograph focus has been in the entertainment industry.  While I cover all areas of entertainment, my primary focus has been with live music. 2013 proved to be an epic year for me as far as surreal experiences are concerned.  I've put together a 3 minute video featuring some of my favorite concert photos captured in 2013.  Check it out if you have the time.

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!  I am confident that 2014 is going to be amazing!

Awesome pics. Here's to even more next year.

personally I'd prefer the slideshow to show each pic longer, (like show the pic by itself at least as long as the fade).

Thanks for watching and for the feedback Tom.  I made the transitions quick so it wouldn't get boring and so that you couldn't spot my photography flaws  :o

Have a good one!

Mat

Thanks Reckless, it is definitely a lot of fun and each show presents a unique set of challenges/opportunities so it's difficult to get complacent which I love.  Rolling Stone Magazine just posted their list of the top 40 concert photos of 2013 and I'm humbled and proud (contradicting terms?) to say that one of my shots is #29.  http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/40-best-live-photos-of-2013-20131217 (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/40-best-live-photos-of-2013-20131217)

Nice video and I can see how many concerts and how much work you did during the year. Holy Cow! That's a lot of nights out in the photo pit.

The transitions are too quick for me in the video, I stopped it after 15 seconds.
