I was using 2 cameras
1Dmk2n with 70-200 but I think all those were my 30D + 17-55 IS F2.8.

He took my my 30D on stage, I'll post those soon.

#7 - Thats my camera on stage! the singer borrowed it! ended up backstage talking to them about cameras as there are into photography!

Very nice clean set stunning lighting.
8 and 12 are some of the best images i have seen for a while.
Great work, They must love them

[DwightMcCann]

Superb!

[bigbaby987]

8,11, and 12 are on the money man!!! They are all exceptional!! But I really dig the main 3.

[René Damkot]

# 8, 9 and 12 are very nice. #1 and 10 nice as well. #3 would have been very nice if better lit.
Good set.

[narlus]

yeah, these are mighty fine. nice job. i really love #9...great job.

[JENerationX]

WOW..... I'd say all of these are beautiful! It may be dark, but #3 is one of my favorites. It's just got so much emotion and beautifully framed. That's an album insert or back shot.

Concert was great and was lucky enough to be able to stay for the whole gig, but when I'm behind the camera I find I don't appreciate the acts as much.

[TheAustin]

Those are some stunning shots, Boyz II Men has been a huge musical influence in my life, I'm envious that you got such wonderful shots of them.

[bry3]

those absolutely amazing shots!!!

[Steve Parr]

I think #3 and #4 are absolutely stunning...

[<AkulA>]

I'm loving 3 and 8 - great work!

[kobe629]

[dawei213]

Awesome photos! Love the Boyz from Philly :) 1, 3, 8, and 12 are my favorites.

[ies photos]

Cheers, glad these have been well received!

[PurelySwift]

These are fantastic, you caught the lighting really well and I'm impressed with the performance of that 17-55. I didn't know it was that good in low light.

[<AkulA>]

pro stage lighting isn't exactly "low light" lol

[chrispons]

What GREAT shots !
You have totally captured the gig and the Boyz ,terrific.
