What do you listen to when shooting?

[NikonsandVstroms]

Usually for me, it changes from series to series. A good example is from when I used to live in Brighton, and for a while was listening to nine inch nails year zero, which I think might have had a slight influence on the work.

So what do you have playing while shooting?

Music takes over too much of my brain, so I don't listen to anything when shooting. Perhaps if I had more brain matter left, it would be different...:lol3

A few more lessons and a couple of new songs and he might be ready to go pro.

This is called Qawalli and guy is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (Late:cry). I know you cannot understand it but it is very deep. He useto sing philosophical poetry of famous poets writers etc.
I like the qawalli because of rythem of drums etc going low to high wow.

If I am at a kiting event and amongst the flyers then the only thing I listen to is them screaming at me to get out the way when a trick goes wrong :earKite buggy and flyer can make quite an impact on ones skull

Other times it is whatever is on my favourite mp3 tracks are at the time

I don't listen to music while shooting usually. I do listen for birds of course when outside :D

Thanks Andy, sounds good! :D
Might have to get a record or two.

I don't listen to any kind of music when I'm out shooting and I love music and play the drums and guitar. Photography is about being "in the moment" for me and I need both sides of my brain focused (no pun intended :D)
