Hola! It’s been a while…vacation was fabulous, and I have almost 5000 images to sift through!

But, more on that to come, promise…

This past weekend, I volunteered to shoot the Noise for the Needy Festival(www.noisefortheneedy.org) at 2 of their shows. More on that later, too:)

I had rented a couple lenses to push my kit to it’s max since I knew lighting would be challenging at these gigs, and I wanted to test drive the 24mm 1.4L. So I shot primarily with that and the 50mm 1.2L and the 100mm 2.0 .

What came of these shows was some pretty good images I think…but the most striking for me on reviewing all the images from assorted bands, was the guitar player for Sunday Night Blackout ~ Johnny Blackout… He had all the rock star moves…some may even call them cliche…but it does not matter when it comes to images…Funny because he was also in the best light on stage…coincidence? I really had to push to get any images of the rest of the band. In frame it was magic when pointing it at Mr Johnny Blackout…take a look……………

The whole experience was great…the organization is something I can get behind, and loved being able to contribute in some way…like I said, more on the whole bit soon!
