Kendrick Lamar’s set on the Grand National Tour marked a milestone for me; My first concert experience ever as a fan of his musical portfolio and it was truly a great experience. Even so I did get to watch it with the most special woman i hold dear in my life.Kendrick was not alone as he toured with SZA and she was prenominal. Overall it was banger after banger from each of their sets individually and together. The night was packed with raw energy, emotion, and unforgettable moments.
All photos were captured on my Samsung S23 Ultra, proving that you don’t need a full kit to freeze powerful memories. In hindsight it was a-minor not having my true gear with me.
While the phone’s camera is impressive, shooting in a packed arena with fast-moving lights and low visibility pushed it to its limits. Autofocus struggled at times, and the intense stage lighting often blew out highlights or created motion blur. One thing to note, before trying to use pro mode, ensure you’ve got it set to RAW. That feeling when you realise data would be lost in post edit is a feeling you can’t shake off. I also noticed the images were grainy/had a lot of noise, but somehow i believe i made it work Still, with patience and timing, I managed to capture the energy and atmosphere of an unforgettable night.
