I'm guessing everybody knows Solomon Burke
... Even I'd heard of him, and it's not exactly my kinda music...
For those who haven't: Wiki

3 song rule, as expected. Less light then expected however.

1D3. 20 through 200 with 1.4TC (I think but am not sure: It's a non reporting TC)
ISO from ISO 1600 (don't know why I even tried) till ISO 6400 (80-200 (with TC?) wide open)
The AF loved the suit... Note to self: Next time turn *off* AF point expansion in a case like this...
1) There goes the first song... No Mr. Burke..

In reality I shot two songs, so I didn't have time to shoot his granddaughters who were also on stage, doing backing vocals. Pity.
Even greater pity was that I couldn't shoot him distributing roses to all the women in the audience...
He's quite a charmer. And yes, a good performer as well.
