 I enjoy capturing more spontaneous acts than I do capturing planned shots in a studio. This was from a concert I attended recently. Armed not with expensive glass or fancy equipment, I used my "slow" lens and shot this of the guitarist. So, here it is for you...

Tamron AF 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) for Canon

I was going for a dark look intentionaly, for emotion. The light was low to begin with and I thought the single spot on the guitarist brought out the feeling in the moment. (Or I was just having a lot of fun, standing in the front row!)

I had been doing a lot with ISO1600 and 3200 before this shot, but went down to 800 to lower the noise a touch.
