DINOSAUR JR.

Boy to I have some blogging up to do so here I go. Last Sunday night Gary and I went to the Troubadour to see Dinosaur Jr. play. Now that is a LOUD show if I ever heard one. Even with earplugs in all night I still thought I might go deaf. They sounded fantastic though and I don't think I've suffered from any permanent hearing loss so far so that's good. I was lucky enough to be allowed to bring my camera in to grab some pictures...but it was hard! I'll tell you what, I don't envy photographers who actually try to make a living doing this sort of thing. The light on stage is constantly changing. Some moments it's black, other times multiple colors, some highlights blow out...like long, platinum hair :) and everyone is moving a lot so it's almost impossible to focus when you're shooting at f 1.2. Also, there was no way I was going to make my way up to the stage among the fans so I found a little tiny nook up on the balcony. I think I even made some enemies up there. Anyway, I did manage to grab a few shots and here they are.
