I remember Sledgehammer used to be on real late at night, great show...

Been on holiday for the last 2 weeks & forgot to post these before I went. Finally got to see my child hood hero Adam Ant & he did not disappoint. Performed for a full 2 hours, stripped down for last 2 songs to reveal a torso any man over 50 would be well proud off...

My photography skills have made a huge improvement in the last 12 months.

I put this down to better photo opportunities, but also down to finally getting matching bodies. The matching bodies has instinctively made me concentrate on the viewfinder rather than asking myself which body am I using, how do I change aperture setting etc... all those simple tasks are so much simpler when using identical bodies...

I was asked to quote a wedding for a friend a few weeks a go, friends rates I said £395. Answer wow your expensive.... So I don't even bother pitching for weddings. If people want all that stress for less than £500 then they are welcome to it...

Cheers guys. Lady Gaga contract for this show was different to other tours, no rights grabbing, just that you had state publications they where going to be used in.

All where shot with GX20 Tamron 17-50 & 50-135mm...

As for watermarking, there are two thoughts to this, one is if they are hot linked then I know they are mine. Second if someone does crop the watermark of the image & rehosts it then that person / company is counteracting anti copyright procedures, the watermark being one of many. If someone chooses to do this then the claim for compensation is higher than just reposting the whole image. I have no issues with people stealing my work, however if I catch them then it is going to cost them, I have had a number of successful claims against individuals & organisations this year for copyright theft etc...

It is getting easier & easier to search for stolen images, I find on average three a week now & just pass the screenshots onto my IP lawyer to pursue for me...

thanks guys.


Forgot to mention all shot without flash & in manual mode.

Can finally put some Lady GaGa photos up for your perusal C & C always welcome.

we got to shoot songs 1, 4 & 9 so hence lots of costume changes... Beautiful lighting from the Beeb technicians made it a dream to shoot. Possibly the only chance to photograph Lady GaGa from a photo pit rather than a soundboard or back of the arena...












As always more on my flickr stream...

Well done Tim there are some quality images in that collection.

Cheers for the all the nice comments. Still pinching myself it happened. I photographed her 2 years ago and since then access has been really strict. I only found out I had been picked to shoot her an hour before her slot & was a little starstruck I must admit &its not often that happens...

He was shooting with three bodies, so not sure you can connect more than one eye-fi can you???
