Great night out at Auckland’s Town Hall to celebrate Matariki<\/a>. The event, organised by Evitan<\/a>, was excellent. We were treated to several of New Zealand’s premier Reggae bands and performers. Lomez Brown<\/a>, 1814<\/a>, Three Houses Down<\/a> and, of course, Che Fu and the Krates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My good friend Malcolm Lakatani was there with Che Fu as part of the band even though his proteges were performing in the Smokefree Pacifica Beats<\/a> competition at the same time. Great news for Malcolm is that his band, Revived Rhythm – as it says on the T-shirt, came in first place in the heats!!<\/p>\n

The lighting was good, but even so I was using quite high ISOs to keep the shutter speed up at a reasonable speed. Great effects from the lighting crew – almost making Malcolm look somewhat angelic! There’s more photos from the night on my Facebook page<\/a>. Maybe take a look and perhaps like the page? That way you’ll get to see any new images I add as I shoot the bands etc. Just a reminder that you can always contact me<\/a> to come and shoot your band if you need promotional images or performance shots.<\/p>\n

I’ll finish this post with a few more images from the night. Perhaps leave me a comment and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n
