WB150F Salsa Concert by Remote Viewfinder

This is one of several concerts at which that I tested my WB150F.

These were taken from two vantage points, from my seat, with my 12 foot high painter's stick, on top of which my WB150F sat.
I used my Acer A500 as my controller.

The initial wide shots show how far I was from the stage.

These are OOC except they were run through the new android app Perfectly Clear.

I was shooting wide, 24mm, upto tele, 432 mm, from shot to shot so I changed the file names so you can see me shooting closer and closer from each vantage point.

Warning: not for pixel peepers.

But if you want to capture a moment that you could not possibly capture otherwise, I invite you to view these WB150F images.

It is a great deal of fun and the camera and wifi workflow has a great deal of room for improvement, but I am very happy that I own my new WB150F.

P.S. All of these, except for the file name changes were downloaded via Wifi MultiLink

to my Acer A500, batch adjusted automatically with Perfectly Clear, and completed before the concert was finished.

Thanks for sharing your WB150 concert shots. Seems pretty good night shots for travel P&S. I have Lumix ZS15, but not so happy with its low light shots. I think WB150 might be a little better at that. Looking at Sony HX20 too, but it's a lot more expensive.
Can you tell what ISO values were for the zoomed shots in dim lighting?

The zoomed in shots of the first vantage point had an ISO of 400.

The zoomed in shots of the vantage point b had ISO at 800 except two were 640.

For B shots the ambient light was lower and my angle to the stage reduced the venue's lights effectiveness at my vantage point.

Open to any further questions on the Wb150f.
