Great pictures there Michael, and soooooooo many.
Having permission makes such a difference to what is achievable.
I never had the luxury of permission to shoot at any of Hayley's concerts that I was ever at.
I was recently allowed to video record and audio record a small concert for a family friend,
The luxury of being able to use a tripod and viewfinder and being able to be seen to be operating a camera was completely new to me after the last few clandestine efforts at Hayley's concerts, where the screen is closed in and all the led indicators are covered to avoid it being seen, You can't even be sure you have the power on never mind anything else, At the last Hayley concert I was at, Unfortunately the zoom button moved, Zooming in fully, I normally tape it down to stop it being moved accidentally, so all I got on video was a small segment of fabric from Hayley's dress, I could have beaten myself severely with a tripod when I saw the results.. If I had a tripod with me..Aghhhhhhhhh....
On the first half of the concert I must have touched the RECORD button twice which put it in the PAUSED mode for half a concert..and then I spent nearly an hour with a camera that was not running, concealed and pointed at Hayley.. What a wally plonker ? What a waste of effort ? What an opportunity missed ?
Agggggggghhhhhhh again.
