MickeyBoo takes a break after the stage is set for last nights gig with FoxJaw Bounty Hunters and Innate with KilkennyMusic.

For a whole series of my shots from last nights gig and more, check out the KilkennyMusic.com Galleries.

I got my first chance to properly use my new Nikon D80 last night on Daw’s brand new drumkit as Itchy Trigger Finger begin practicing for their tour. Last year I used a D70 for the first time, for a shoot as Daw recorded drum tracks with the Happy Medium.

With my brand new camera and plenty of gigs, practices and recordings to come over the summer, this shot marks the return of my Summer Sessions.

Took me a while to get this shot and I’d like to try get this sort of thing again with a bit more light. I got this by using burst mode and a crash zoom once I had my focus point on the strings and hand. Energetic bassist Tommy Moore onstage with Waiting to Explode as they return to the KilkennyMusic scene.
