My good friend Stan invited me to tag along on a shoot he did at the Old Town School of Folk Music a few weeks ago. Wednesday nights are World Music Night and the guest was Esperanza Spaulding. Stan recently bought the new Canon 5D Mark II digital 35mm camera and was anxious to try it out. I was shooting my standard Canon 5D with my EF35-350 Canon zoom.
We got permission to shoot the first 3 songs, and Stan wanted to submit the shots to a magazine he's working on.
Most of my shots were taken from the balcony, cradling the camera on my arm resting on the rail. Exposure was 1/30th at 5.6 (max) at 1600 ISO at a focal length of 320 mm. Shot raw. Here's a link to a web gallery of my shots.
Great concert, too! Esperanza is a lovely young woman. Pretty tiny thing to be playing a big stand-up base, but she was fantastic.
