Saturday night had Jeremy (+ friends) down at Bombs Away Cafe – up on stage playing a mix of covers and originals. I haven’t had a chance to catch him play in years – and fortunately – this time – I had a camera.
To hear a sample – grab the headphones and check this vid out – a long distance collaboration between Jeremy and Harold covering Moonshiner. This is simply good stuff.
And just in case you were wondering – yes, the lighting is still bad at Bombs. This time, I just simply went straight to ISO 2000 and figured (hoped) I could just manage the noise later. Well – wouldn’t you know – the 50D handled it pretty well. A little Lightroom touchup – and the photos were pretty much OK (as for noise artifacts) – though – I might stay clear of poster size enlargements…
As for lenses – pretty much my standard fare: 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8, and the Lensbaby Composer + 0.42X wide angle attachment – at f/2.8. And at the end of the night – many of the keepers had LB fingerprints on them. The 0.42X wide angle attachment worked well in the small confines of Bombs Away.
