Royal Blood enjoying their moment
Category Zoom-in
[BPA2024-116]

Taken during their recent show in Edinburgh, I was really pleased with how well the telephoto zoom allowed me to capture this moment of Royal Blood looking triumphant at the end of their set. While a lot of gig photography is done from directly in front of the stage, I love how getting further back and zooming in captured so many hands and phones in the air as it gives much more of a sense of the crowd enjoying themselves. I converted the image to black and white in Lightroom and made minor edits to the exposure.
