I know this isn't really the greatest photograph ever taken, but this was a photo I took at the David Gilmour concert at the Hollywood Bowl last year. This was probably the first major concert I had ever been to and the lighting effects were a large part of the show. This specific photo was taken during the song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and basically the video projector was turned off and the only lights featured were those white beams you seen surrounding the video screen. Throughout the song the lights would move through different sequences and it was quite spectacular to see, especially considering the effect was fairly simply compared to some of the other ones that were featured. The strong, white beams danced through the audience and really highlighted the idea of shining bright a s a diamond or bright as a star, the whole performance featured a multitude of intense lighting effects but I saw this one as the most memorable and the most touching in a really simplistic way. The lighting isn't show so well in the photograph, but what this image reminds me of almost makes me more interested in lighting design because it was so spectacular.
