Apocalyptica At Place Bell

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  The Place Bell in Laval was the home of one of the most rocking triple bills that I have had the good fortune of photographing this year.  Opening the night was Finland’s gift to classical metal, Apocalyptica.  Three classically trained cellists who cover heavy metal songs.  On this night, they limited their performance to songs by Metallica, but if you were to look through their discography, you would find their awesome covers of several other bands as well.  Not to mention their own original pieces as well.  Their time on stage was criminally short, only 6 songs, especially for those of us who have seen them perform full headlining sets.  They opened with a trio of songs, ‘Ride The Lightning’, ‘Master Of Puppets’ and ‘Enter Sandman’ that rivals any opening salvo of music that I have ever seen.  Simply put, Apocalyptica are amazing and even after having seen them now three times over the last two years, I can’t wait for them to return.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Apocalyptica while they performed on the Place Bell stage.
