First of all, I'm sorry for the watermark. While we use a smaller one now, due to an HDD problem I lost the edited version of the pics, so I had to use these ones, which I posted on my facebook. Also, these are facebook versions, so quality is not ideal
My post production skills are close to non-existent so suggestions would be appreciated.
Without further ado...

Metalcamp 2011
This was, literally, the first time I was using my camera outside of "auto" mode. A very nice photographer there, and who has become my friend, gave me a quick explanation of aperture, shutter speed and ISO and sent me on my way (I was using a Canon 400D and a kit lens). Since I was covering the festival anyway, I thought that I might as well give it a try. The results were, in my opinion, not too bad. Since then I have, to some extent, improved (I think/hope).
I have stuff from other gigs, but I think I'm filling this enough.
Feel free to tear them all apart and tell me I sucked.

Mastodon




Watain






(I'd love some opinions as to whether the B&W or the color version work better)

Milking the Goat Machine



Der Apokalytischen Reiter (I'm pretty sure I hosed up the spelling there)


Legions of the Damned


Powerwolf

I wish Sommerville did more stuff, shes an awesome singer and one of few in Metal I can tolerate. Although I really didn't like Trillium

I agree. Try the following:
Aina
Amanda Sommerville (solo album)
Kiske-Somerville

I photographed Megadeth on Sunday. The pit was very narrow, so it was almost impossible to actually move from one side to the other. Mustaine's hair was, for the most part, an impenetrable hoodie.
Here are some:

I have the possibility of shooting Limp Bizkit tomorrow.
Then I got this release, which I will not sign.
Notice the clause about destroying my equipment.

EDIT: Amazingly, they don't keep the copyright of the photos, like others, like Lady Gaga, do.

The quality of the fisheye shots could have been better, but I borrowed a crappy chinese lens from a friend; still, I think the results were not too bad.

Messing around with post processing with some photos I took a few nights ago, here is one I have finished:



How did I do?

I'm not great with post-processing, so I can't give you any advice on how to fix this, BUT I think you should try to fix the "blending" between him/his guitar and the background. Perhaps you could try doing it black and white?

I am really liking this pic.

I have to disagree. While the back of the head can be an interesting composition element, the mic right in the middle of the mouth ruins it for me.
