Your entire band shots with the 15mm are great. You've moved to the top of my 'to buy' list :)

Whoa I just noticed what's happening in shot #2 - Great timing!

The fisheye is an exciting lens! Nice set.

Thanks Dwight. Always a high honor when a set catches your eye. 15mm turned out to be a good buy for me.

Nice shots, i like #4, #5 & #6.

i'd say 1's the best shot of the set...i find it hard sometimes to capture a really good full band/stage shot, and you've done it here. nicely rendered.

did you defish the 15mm shots? They look pretty rectilinear to me.

8 shows my pet peeve (pigtail mic cord on the rack tom, obscuring the drummer). not much you can do w/ that sometimes.

no. 1 I actually added to the effect [on the 1.6 XT there is not much of a bubble effect] to make the guest singer more prominent.

no. 2 though has definitely been flattened

Yuri has a great face on but the way he plays - revolving instead of actually shifting body/position - the look is always the same, ie. same stuff in the way.

I always loved seeing MxPx live. I haven't seen Mike throw his bass up like that before. He always swapped guitar's with the roadies via throwing though, always great to watch. Saw him drop it one day, wasn't so great. haha
