Concerts at the Wildflower Pavilion at Planet Bluegrass

April 1, 2010 11:58 am

Steve and I attended another fun Spring concert at the Wildflower Pavilion at Planet Bluegrass.  Chatham County Line played for a packed house.  I got a new lens and camera so we were testing out the new equipment.  I am amazed by the low light capability of the newer Nikon SLR cameras.  All of these images were taken sans flash.

I love the intimacy of the Wildflower pavilion.  It’s the perfect venue to get up and dance.

Wildflower Pavilion Concert Photographer

Last night we were concert photographers at our favorite music venue in Colorado the Wildflower Pavilion at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons.  I love being a photojournalist and photographing action as it happens.  Since I am photographing for Planet Bluegrass I’m not just photographing the band but I am looking for images that show off the venue and the experience.

The opening act was local Denver artist Ian Cooke.  He entertained us with a mix of cello, keyboards and vocals.  His dark and fascinating sound was truly mesmerizing.

I loved how this little boy just wondered up front.

The headliner was Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros – what an energetic and unique experience this was.  I love the Wildflower pavilion because of the intimacy of the venue and this band was well suited for this stage.  The show was a high energy and lively celebration that kept the crowd dancing throughout the show.

Concerts at the Wildflower Pavilion (and Planet Bluegrass) are a special evening and a lot of fun.  I’m always impressed with the variety and outstanding talents that perfom at Planet Bluegrass.  Concerts at the Wildflower Pavilion are in the Fall and Spring only so go and look at the schedule – you don’t want to miss an evening at this wonderful concert venue.

Steve and I had a fantastic time at RockyGrass this year.  We always enjoy being concert photographers at Planet Bluegrass.  Our goal is to get crowd shots and photos that tell the story of a day at Planet Bluegrass.

Wildflower Concert at Planet Bluegrass

April 27, 2009 11:58 am

Saturday night Steve and I attended a concert at the Wildflower Pavilion at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons.  We brought the D700 camera to take some low light concert photos and it rocked.  All of these images were taken without a flash.   I try not to use flash so the camera doesn’t interfere with the event and I love my Nikon D700 for this reason.    The Concerts at the  Wildflower Pavilion are held in the Spring and Fall and are a great night out.    Planet Bluegrass is a great spot for a wedding too.

The stage set up for a great show.

Elephant Revival was a lot of fun.  I angled this image to get some of the roof of the Wildflower Pavilion.  The wood is simply beautiful.
