I tried out my new camera for the first time at a Roger Waters concert outside of Chicago last night and thought I'd share a picture. It was taken from about 100 yards in very low light and has been compressed to meet attachment specs. These were probably not the best conditions under which to test, but I really needed to learn how to use it some before my son's marching band competition today--hopefully I'll have better pictures of that. I also took some video, which was pretty good until the batteries died and the memory card got filled up! (I shouldn't have chosen a song with a ten minute intro near the end of the show! ) (This is with the 12x optical zoom, it was too dark for the optical zoom)
Anyway, it was a fabulous concert! I was a little concerned that Roger might seem a bit "used up," but no worries. His sounded exactly the same and he looked fit and classy and the show was first rate. He sang so many of the great Pink Floyd songs: Wish You Were Here, Money, Comfortably Numb, Shine on You Crazy Diamonds.... It was a cold, breezy, rainy night in an outside venue and I'm still glad I went! (Also glad I brought extra sweatshirts, blankets, gloves, socks! )
