Terrific shots, mastery of very tricky lighting. I guess you're keeping the Stones ones close to your chest.
I agree that Pentax are missing a trick by not sponsoring images like these in some way. My pick is The XX girl.
unfortunately i didn't get chosen for the stones, limited to 50 printed press guys and they closed if the arena for crowd safety so no shots of the stones unfortunately.Terrific shots, mastery of very tricky lighting. I guess you're keeping the Stones ones close to your chest.

Really excellent shots Gary and a great advert for Pentax equipment...you should be able to blagg yourself some heavily discounted gear from Pentax for your 'marketing support' by proving that you don't need a Canikon to be successful professionally in what must be a very demanding and competitive market.
I have emailed and messaged Pentax numerous times about sponsoring professional Pentax users and got no response what so ever.....Really excellent shots Gary and a great advert for Pentax equipment...you should be able to blagg yourself some heavily discounted gear from Pentax for your 'marketing support' by proving that you don't need a Canikon to be successful professionally in what must be a very demanding and competitive market.

Spent last week on assignment at the Glastonbury Festival, here are some of the performance shots, more on my flickr stream
Got some great access including on stage access Crystal Castles headline set in the John Peel tent, photo 8 and was also let in for Sinead O Connor in the Acoustic Tent, the first time this has been allowed since its inception which was a great honour for me.
The Crystal Castles shoot was ridiculously difficult, check out this video and see how the strobing and smoke.
After shooting a wedding the week before in Zante, Greece I now have a couple of weeks break before shooting Latitude Festival.

Why is it a bad move? This always happens with corporate structures, it doesn't mean the end of the Pentax brand...

Chris the k-5 is nit being compared here. There us a huge difference in iq between the original mki and the mkii bodies. There is however very little difference between the mkii bodies.
this test is excellent and proved what i have thought all along ��

But you don't know how many they have deleted either do you???
A 1d mkiv and the 5d mkiii will help considerably with AF tracking but then they should at over 3 times the cost of the k-5 mkiii
I recently compared the AF speed of the 5d mkiii against the k-5 mkii and in spot AF there is very very very little difference between them in AF speed.

Pentax system is very good one and I am really enjoying the look, feel, top notch ergonomic and compactness overall. However since my 18 months old son started to pick up considerable speed in his movement around I've got a close to zero keeper shots when trying to follow him. Especially indoor. Pentax still lacks on the focus front and I cannot see this will get that better soon. Mainly because it is not only the body but lens dependent too. For example my DA*55 f1.4 has probably the best IQ and certainly the widest aperture in my collection. However SDM auto-focus is so painfully slow. I hope Canon will give me more on this respect along with all the other FF goodies.
The 55mm is possibly Pentax's slowest SDM lens, its built for portraits rather than speed.Pentax system is very good one and I am really enjoying the look, feel, top notch ergonomic and compactness overall.

I think you show the differences between a pro and most amateurs - not only do you have images with great IQ, you also have a good variety of angles, excellent composition, and good exposures - many people won't appreciate how difficult it is to achieve these things at a gig - I do because I've failed several times
Really good stuff - thanks for sharing
