Saves the Day and Rival Schools - Sydney

I went to the Alkaline Trio/ Rival Schools/ Saves the Day show last night in the Manning Bar at Sydney University. I didn't originally intend to take photos and didn't have a photo pass, but decided at the last minute to see if I could smuggle a D200 and 50mm 1.4 in.
After getting through the bag check with camera undetected it was time to have a few beers and push up close to the front and snap off a few shots. I didn't have much mobility up front as I couldn't get in front of the barrier. Still got a few decent ones though. There's a couple of Alakaline Trio shots at the end. I stayed in the crowd for their set. More photos after the cut.

What the Aussie pro's are rockin'

This past August while shooting one of the bigger snowboard competitions on the Australian calendar, Style Wars, I decided it would be fun to shoot photos of the other photographers.It was one of those events where I knew only a couple of my shots would get a run in the magazine, and it was also the first comp I had covered in that season where I wasn't being paid to shoot for the event organisers or sponsors, So I decided to have a bit of fun and shoot the other guys shooting!

Here are a few shots from the three day event.
