The crowd was 25 - 30,000. I got there 2 and 1/2 hours early and was still about 30 yards from the stage. The big white lenses ( 100-400 and 70-200 IS ) came in handy in more ways than one. Security saw me with the MK II and 100-400 ... invited me up front and center. grin

It's been 20 years since I have seen him live.

There were some other "well knowns" there, but they were on forst and I ma still looking through the files on card #1. Will post a pic or two later of them.

Take a peeks at these now - MK II with 550 flash. Used mainly the 70-200 IS for the ones of WN. I was approx. 20 feet from jim for these shots...





Look at the state of his instrument:



The gelled stage lighting made the WB iffy

Hi Melanie,

nice pictures! I know the singer, but I don't recall his name. I'm German, so maybe that's a possible excuse...

Can anyone give me some advice (or link) on how to use the histogram appropriately and take advantage of its functions? That would be awesome!

Hi Olli,
Thank you. The singer is Willie Nelson. Here's a link for you:

Great shots. Great light and exposure. OTOH I don't think the camera and lens are what got you invited up to the front :> ) Just mere speculation on my part.

All comments should be taken as shameless plugs for me and my equipment ;)

Melanie: Again, those are wonderful shots. In one shot he is looking right at you (probably thinking "man, i wish i'd cleaned this guitar". But i have an old vintage telecaster, and let me tell you, that guitar will never be "cleaned"; it's part of its character.

Keep up the good work -- and send those pictures to AP.
