Summer Festivals Event Photography
It’s shaping up to be another great summer for live music in the UK, with festivals and open-air concerts taking place up and down the country for the duration of the season. If you are heading to one of these feelgood events, consider bringing your camera along and trying to capture the mood. You don’t need a press pass to get great photos – in fact, some of the most memorable moments happen well away from the main stage. At festivals, smaller stages are a chance to get closer to performers, giving you more scope to be creative. Artists playing these stages are also more likely to see and share your photos if you tag them on social media. Meanwhile, the colourful crowds offer perfect opportunities to practise your street photography skills: look for bold outfits and unique compositions that showcase the environment. Pack for the Weather British festivals tend to be either wet and muddy or dry and dusty. If you’re lucky, you might experience both across a single weekend. Luckily, a number of X Series lenses are designed to work effectively in these conditions. If you see WR at the end of an X Series lens name, it stands for ‘weather-resistant’, and means that the optic can withstand moisture, dust particles and extreme temperatures.
