I managed to keep possession of my camera equipment during the epic Biffy Clyro 'MTV Unplugged' gig. Afterwards, with the venue almost empty of fans, and the set being dismantled, I managed to persuade the security and staff to permit me to quickly take a shot from the highest point.

Behind The Lens

Location

Royal Albert Hall, London

Time

Evening

Lighting

Only the ambient light available at the venue

Equipment

Nikon D750, resting on a railing, with a Samyang manual focus 12mm.

Inspiration

Awesome Victorian architecture

Editing

Lightroom: contrast, crop, WB, sharpening.

In my camera bag

D750, Nikkor 50mm f1.8

Feedback

Very narrow aperture. Use a timer/cable release. With such a wide angle lens, ensure the camera is level, as adjustments after the fact become pronounced and symmetry difficult.
