Photo of the Day 10th April 2025.

A massively over-exposed long exposure mixed with a snap zoom and an explosion of stage lights, leaving only a vague impression of what is actually there. It starts with a close-up of the head and upper body of a man with shoulder-length hair and wearing a dark t-shirt with a white text logo. His face and most of the background are blown out, massively over-exposed, along with the logo on the t-shirt, while dark areas of the image (his hair, t-shirt, and part of the ceiling behind him) are a light blue. A snap zoom out has a full length view of him, slightly hunched over, playing a guitar. Again, all details have been lost, blown out by the exposure, only blue shadows remaining.
Sean, lead guitarist with Scouse rockers The Idiot Rate, at a gig at Academy 3, Manchester, 25th June 2006. I’d known Ben, the lead singer, for years, but this was the first time I saw them, and crikey, did I get some good photos. This is one of my faves, and this is almost exactly how it came out of the camera, all I’ve done is crop it slightly and slap a watermark on there. There is an even better edit in there somewhere, but for now, I’m happy with this.
