Capturing An Audience: Roskilde Festival’s Best Crowd Photo For 2006
Every year Roskilde Festival organisers begin a grand quest for the best festival audience photograph from that year’s event.
Emails are exchanged, photographs submitted, votes cast and the best photograph is eventually chosen.
This year Michael Saly scooped the prize for this atmospheric image taken during his visit to the Danish rock festival.
According to organisers, Saly’s photograph ‘captures a perfect relation between the grandiose and the intimate’ and ‘shows how intimate community and large-scale events in front of the Orange Stage are well connected’. Alrighty then.
If you weren’t there this year, looking at all the audience photos submitted might leave you feeling most left out and wishing you’d been-there-too.
If so, go ahead and make a note of next year’s festival dates (5-8 July 2007) and get your backpacker butt there next time around.

Those are some laaarge speakers.
I must say, though, that this shot doesn’t do it for me. It doesn’t seem to capture the energy of the crowd… and what’s up with that thing on a stick there?
Thoughts?
