ATMOSPHERE - that's what these photos are about.  If you want to know how many rivets number XXXX has on her bufferbeam, look elsewhere!

A lot of the music-making photos were taken in very low light levels indeed, and my DSLR camera sensor doesn't have anything like the sensitivity you get in more recent models (max 6400 ISO); also, I might crop out most of an image, because only a particular detail interests me.  My aim is often to capture special moments, or find attractive compositions within what might at first seem a not very promising shot, not worrying about the quality.
