Our November “Concert Photo” Contest Winner
is
Todd Lackovitch
with his photo of Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth of Overkill
taken at the Fillmore in Silver Springs, Md
We love this photo of Bobby ‘Blitz’ Ellsworth. There’s a moment before the storm that is captured where it seems he’s anchoring down and ready to unleash the thrash. Even with this backlighting, there’s so much detail still showing in the front.

This Month’s Honorable Mentions are:
Jim Wilkinson with his photo of Niclas Engelin of The Halo Effect taken at the ProgPower USA in Atlanta Ga. You have Niclas looking into the camera and the color palette tha Jim used makes this photo vibrant and interesting.

Jess Harshbarger with her photo of Chad Gray of Mudvayne in Bonner Springs, Ks. Jess captured a great photo of Chad while turning it into more of a b& w and leaving just the blood read. So very cool.

Holly of Holly Roy Photography with her photo of Extreme at the Toyota Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, Ct. It’s hard enought getting a good shot one one or two of the band members together, It’s hard to capture the whole band in one shot without a wide angle view but Holly did it. So great to have the drummer coming through the center break.

Ruth Preston with her photo of Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust at the Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Oh. This is a perfectly times shot because you get Lajon’s hair taking so much of the photo yet you can perfectly see the emotion on his face still.
