I'm fairly certain that it's Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.

You are correct. That is Chester Bennington from Linkin Park :)

Incredible photo! Congratulations on the finalists, very well deserved!

Thank you very much!! I REALLY appreciate your comment!! ;-)

This is a really good shot! When I first saw it I knew it was Chester Bennington! He is one of my favourites. Where did you take this photo? :)

Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been off here for quite some time. I took this photo of Chester during a show he was fronting for Stone Temple Pilots. Chester was and still is my favorite artist. Such a devastating loss...

Is that Gord Downey? Wow , love the intensity here.

Sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been off here for quite some time. Thank you for the compliment. This is actually a photo of Chester Bennington

I captured this beauty while visiting Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA

They say cousins are your first best friends.

For a brief moment, she appeared as though she were suspended in the air...

A father and his young son enjoy some quiet time as the sun rises over the ocean to begin a new day.

The beauty of a new day begins as a young child sits on his father's surfboard and the sun peeks over the the ocean.

This was my view while walking along a path in Central Park, NY on a beautiful fall afternoon. I took this photo a few year ago when I first got into

Took this one after my friends son got his face painted. Such a sweet little boy. This was his version of a fierce lion (hence the lack of a smile) Do

This is one of the prettiest and most peaceful locations in my neighborhood.

Beautiful butterfly I came across while walking around Mr. Cason's Vegetable Garden at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA.

This photo was taken during a dance showcase at my daughter's college.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL

Time

It was taken at night during a rock concert / Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington.

Lighting

Concert lighting can be very tricky as it can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. However, the lighting for this particular show was actually great. This is one several of my favorite shots and it is a prime example of sometimes less is more. It was the perfect set up as the lights went down, the singer stepped into the shadow, and the spot went up behind him creating the silhouette of him rocking the stage.

Equipment

When I shoot concerts I always have my Canon 5D Mark II, a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8, and plenty of cards.

Inspiration

Everything about concert photography inspires me actually. I've been venturing into other areas of photography slowly, but this is where my passion lies. I love the fast pace and of course the music. I find the challenge of trying to get just the right shots and to capture the energy and raw emotion on stage very exciting.

Editing

There was a little post processing was done on this photo. I cropped it down, raised the levels a bit and reduced the noise in lightroom.

In my camera bag

I always carry my Canon 5D Mark II, a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8, a Speedlite 430EX II, and plenty of cards. I have other lenses that I only take with me when they are needed.

Feedback

When shooting concert photography always shoot in RAW and clean up your photos after. Use the lowest f-stop possible and adjust your shutter speed and ISO as needed. The faster your shutter speed the better so you can freeze the action. It can sometimes be a game of trial and error due to the fact that the lighting for every show is different. Aside from figuring out which settings will be best for the lighting of the night, try to anticipate the moves and mannerisms of the band members. It goes a long way in getting just the right shot.
