Dressy Bessy
A few weeks ago I got the chance to bring my camera to a concert by local band Dressy Bessy. It's rare to have a show I feel like I can bring my expensive camera too, so I was really excited about the chance to shoot a concert. I took over a two hundred photos, of those, here are a few of the best.
I actually did crop on many of them, but I was very worried about loss of detail, I shot at 1000 ISO, which can result in a lot of grain, and if you zoom in very far on these, that grain really comes into focus. What I really need is a nice f1.2 lens so I can really open up that aperture!
And I thought that taking nearly 400 photos over 2 weeks in Bali was a lot. That would equate to over 16 rolls of film, which I never would have dreamt of shooting back in the pre-digital era.

These would all be more effective with some cropping. All that black just diminished the focus.
