Hey Monday live: Same Show, Different Angles...
Miss Cassadee Pope of Hey Monday
Live @ The Pageant, St. Louis

These 2 shots happened within just a few seconds of each other towards the end of the 3rd song and up until that point, the lighting had been well-less than ideal for shooting. Pretty dark, actually. This was taken w/my 24-70mm f/2.8 at 1/60 on manual. Unfortunately this diptych of 2 shots were the only ones I felt were suitable for posting.
However, concert photographer Todd Owyoung and I shoot the same shows occasionally and I always think it's pretty interesting when we capture the same moment at the same show but from 2 different photographer's perspectives. He was front and center for this shot and you can check it out! Very cool!
[edit]: I also have a link to Dave Mullis' version of this moment from another perspective which is very cool! So make that 3 different perspectives!

Oh wow! My mom has seen Elton John several times when she was young and she told me all about his crazy outfits (one that he came out in a costume with balloons, one sporting sunnies that lit up 'elton' across the lenses) and I sometimes wish I could go back in time and capture those moments. What I wouldn't give for a professional film camera-maybe someday. I love digital, but there's something just very pure and organic about film photography that I love.
Looks like I have no choice but to really save up for a better camera, besides the obvious budget factor, i was concerning about how serious I really am in terms of taking pictures, and if I really should carry a large full sized bulky camera around wherever I go... I still cannot find a good justification for me to do just that. I just thought the Fuji's physical size is large enough for me... :-)
