top man.

A 'moving' shot Chris................ in all senses. :-)

and there was me thinking it was a mobile phone gesture

Great !!!!! I salute :))

Hi Chris – YO! This IS a big fellow, but I cannot agree with you more in your description of the kindness and respect shown by most In the metal crowd (and, I would have to also say ,at least in MY experience, that hard rock and soft punk people, with whom I have come in contact, are also very kind… ESPECIALLY to those who may be disadvantaged in some way)….. I really like this image – a great show of colour and tone!
Oly is well-regarded for their jpeg colour and deservedly-so. Of the love-hate relationship I have with my Olympus E-510, I have to say that the jpeg color totally kicks ass right out of the camera! NO processing is needed unless, for some reason, one so desires…With respect to the E-P5, I am really impressed with the 5-Axis IS that you were describing – I have been reading about that. I am not presently considering purchase of the E-P5, however, I HAVE been reassessing my Position on an “upgrade” to my E-510 vs a total swithc to another system) sheer agony from a monetary standpoint for me). .I am VERY heavily-invested in Zuiko (Olympus) glass, which I think is really quite excellent. I agonize over the prospect ($$$) of changing systems to Cannon or Nikon because of that. I have NEVER been impressed with the Olympus E-5, but HAVE been impressed with the news about the upcoming OM-D-E-M1 which is reported to be coming soon and also is reported to have resolved the problem that the OM-D-E-M5 had in regards to poor AF on moving subjects (an important factor for me since I shoot a lot of baseball and football youth league games).
Here below is a link that just popped up from the UK, I think, this morning, about the OM-D-E-M1 .Thanks so much for your kind words and great descriptions…I really appreciate it, Chris…Sorry for this really LONG comment :-)

Hope he is delivered safe and sound:)

Wow.

A lovely photo, Chris.

Great photo and superb colors !

excellent work

I think this is one of the better shots illustrating this interesting activity. This fellow is large, but the crowd is handling him very well.

outstanding capture!

Pas léger celui-là!

Further thoughts whilst out and about on my constitutional, along the lines of what a great way for my coffin to arrive at the funeral :)

Thanks for sharing Chris and this is what I love about our Aminus community...it takes you to places you would not ordinarily go and sights rarely seen. This really shines a light on the warmth of the metal-heads and that disability is NO BAR TO HAVING FUN. Credit to Showsec for getting on board too. You may want to offer this to Showsec as it's a great promotion of the event and security industry.

Nice one.

Great fun, very nice to see him making the most of it too!

I like the message of this shot.

What an amazing sight, I love the feeling this conveys , fantastic capture and a great moment

great gesture

A great moment that you've captured here!!

I am glad that they let him surf. That was a lot to handle with the wheelchair. Fantastic image!

Love this, rock loves all!

The sight sure is amazing and good of you to catch that! I also was of the opinion that a rock concert is the last place one would find any friendly chaps but your image definitely says otherwise! Great!

Amazed that he managed to stay attached to the chair!!
