Hi Ross Now all you camera experts if I set the camera to the ISO setting (giving me ISO 3200) with flash off would that work during concerts. I can turn off the beeps and also the AF illuminator as it gives off a red light. I can do manual settings so what ISO , shutter speeds and Aperture value do you use at concerts. I hope to test the camera at Fiona Pear's concert in the Christchurch Cathedral on Saturday. Many thanks for the photo's of Christchurch. As to your question, I think you may get a number of different responses as we photographers have our own ideas about what best works for us. I'm glad to hear that you can turn off your AF beam as that's a big distraction for Hayley if she sees it. You should also bear in mind that if there is a spotlight on Hayley and you set your camera for a wide shot, then Hayley will most likely appear as a ghostly white image. If you have a focus point selector set it to centre if you are concentrating on anyone under a spotlight. Depending on the amount of light, you may not need ISO3200 but you will need to weigh that against a fairly fast shutter speed to freeze movement, or wait until Hayley is fairly still - holding a long note for example, or waiting for applause to die down. Might be worth sending Steve H a PM - I'm sure he would be happy to impart some of his experiences  Looking forward to seeing the results! Best wishes Grant |

What a strange coincidence ! We too have a Christchurch here in England and yes the River Avon flows through it ! Hayley will pass it on Wednesday. I would think there could be many similar occurrences as the original settlers would name things like they were used to back in the UK  Graham |

Last Monday I was at a camp for rehearsals as a part of my choir tour and in order to get to breakfast we had to cross this creek. It looked gorgeous frozen and snowy in some parts and still flowing in others.    <3 Caitlin |

Hello everyone I've been meaning to post these for a while now  Last weekend, my friend Steve, who is a Land Rover enthusiast, persuaded me to go with him to a trial up in the Peak District. I didn't know what to expect, but with wildly spinning wheels and flying mud there were some good photo opportunities. The location was the site of a 17th century lead mine and the idea, to get around the course without stopping and without touching the marker posts. Best wishes Grant |

This is utterly incredible, Grant. So often when we communicate we find we share parallel lives. I too have a Land Rover enthusiast as a friend but he is in South Africa, technically retired but he and his son spend most of their time rebuilding such vehicles and taking people on safaris in them.

Peter S. Truly a small world Peter! I feel sure there would have been 'some rebuilding' after last Sunday's event!  Best wishes Grant |
