Hello everyone Thanks Stewart for you first pictures from Fiona's concert and of the ring. From where I was standing, it looked as though Fiona was threatening to punch you!  Best wishes Grant Hi Grant, Did you mean Stewart, Stuart or STEVE  Another senior moment!  STEVE  |

For those of you interested in the technical side of things, I have always had problems photographing Fiona due to the speed with which she moves around the floor, not only is the bow always moving but so is Fiona, a photographers nightmare in low light! So this time I came prepared and set the DSLR camera to ISO800 and forced the little Sony H7 to a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second to try and freeze some of the movement, inevitably the images are a little grainy in places but I was quite pleased with the results. No one could complain the photo's are repetitive, Fiona never stands still that long enough for that! Steve H |

Hi Steve Your latest action shots are superb - I actually think a bit of blur in the right place actually helps when it is obvious the subject is moving. Here's a few more from me Best wishes Grant |

Hello everyone These are the last from the rehearsal phase of yesterday's concert from me. I have a few from the concert itself and from the post concert chat which I will post later on tomorrow. I'm sure Steve will have more to show you and we haven't seen anything from Stuart yet. Best wishes Grant |

Nice photos guys! I for one don't have a problem with the non-Hayley photos! And its great to hear about concert experiences!
Ok, claim to ignorance here... But who is Fiona? Is she a New Zealander? I noticed someone said she's getting married in Christchurch. I could probably deduce who it is through more research, but I don't have the time for that, and I didn't even catch a last name in recent posts!
Please direct me to this information! And, I take it from the reviews that they are decent?
Cheers,
Jono

Hi Jono, For more info on Fiona Pears (from NZ), have a look at the many threads on: hwi.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fionaFiona and Ian (Tilley) are not only great musicians but very nice people ... and decent too. Paddy |

[although I think the usual pronounciation is as if it were piers!] Christchurch is how they know one another. They are both Kiwis (Hayley and Fiona) but Ian's a Brit, surname Tilley. Peter S. |
