This weekend I got to head to one of my favourite haunts, Oxford Art Factory, to check out the Bamboos and take a few snaps. The place was absolutely packed to the rafters and the crowd was waiting to get their dancing shoes on.
When the band finally hit the stage, they looked amazingly dapper and immediately hit their groove.
The only bad part of the night was that I couldn’t move around much this time as it was a particularly packed house. I’m thinking it’s time to get myself a new lens to increase my arsenal so I’m not just relying on my nifty fifty in low light. I keep cursing the fact that I don’t have a wider focal length to work with my cropped sensor.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding a good value, fast lens that would be relatively wide on a Canon 400D and suitable for concert photography?

The Nextmen
The UK hip-hop duo played a lively and (almost) hip thrust-inducing set at Manning Bar, playing crowd pleasers by the likes of Jay-Z and the Verve and mashing them up entertainingly. Made me think of the Kleptones with more 90s one hit wonders and old school beats.
Good times!

More pictures from the gig here.
