You've got so many amazing pics, going to go through them all later and relive it all a bit more (although that's all I've been doing anyway )

It was rather a surreal feeling to fly from little ol' New Zealand to go to Glastonbury , and to photograph it as well.

Some of you may have seen me....

I was wearing the "World Tour '09" T-shirt on...

Had a long series of events on the back.

Rhythm and Vines
Global Underground
Glastonbury
Dance Valley
Global Gathering
etc

My Glastonbury 2009 efforts are here:


Some highlights:

Shangri-La:


Lead singer of WhoMadeWho:


The obligatory Flag Shot:


I don't feel like I ever got into a proper photographic groove over the weekend, but then again I was pretty music-focused this year. If I were going to bring an SLR again then I would definitely bring a proper-height tripod - the Gorillapod basically never got used because there was never anything to put it on. Also I would take a night out just as a photo night, maybe on the Wednesday or Thursday, and focus on getting some good shots. That Boston Globe / Big Picture portfolio has humbled us all!

Can I be so rude as to ask what gear you were using?

These shots are a mixture of mostly Canon 20D + 28-135mm IS / 17-40mm F4L and a few of them are from my little Panasonic Lumix FX37.

I tended to put my "big camera" away in a lockup in the evenings which means I missed some good shots but also meant I could concentrate on soaking it all in and not worrying about loss or theft...

Such an awesome way to end it all... so funny.

Mine are all online now in the glasto photo section. Overall I wasn't very satisfied with my output this year (like I ever am!   ) - had some equipment problems (focus stopped working past 135mmm on my zoom lens), but I had a new 35mm/1.8 lens with me that I've been trying out and getting some nice low-light results:
