This is not a world reknowned group so I expected to be able to shoot their entire performance, but right at the last instant I got word, "First Two Songs". To make things more interesting, They walked back and forth, looking at each other, rarely all of them looking at the audience together. The guy with the hat keep lifting it off almost in a wave either to the audience or at the other musicians alternating with lifting his hand up palm forward as though waving. They were never all together. It was weird! Anyway, to the images:

#2 This kind of shows the walking around the stage stuff.

Looks like you made the best of it. Very clear shots. I am just starting to shoot entertainment and have never been good with lighting, so very impressed with these as all your work. Did you use the 300? How did they sound?

I always make the best of it which is why I make the big bucks I guess. There is EXIF in these images (do you have the Opanda EXIF browser plugin?) But it doesn't look like I published any shot with the 300mm here. I have some in the pipeline of Christian Castro where I used the 300mm extensively.

So you are local!? You should come down for a concert at the casino ... they are having a lot of Latin entertainers these days.

Too far! :-) It is in Santa Ynez as shown in the IPTC data, about 40 minutes north of Santa Barbara.
