Canon 1D MKII - 70-200 f2.8L
Taken at the Birch Aquarium, KPRI 'green flash' concert series.
The organizers were very pro photography (which makes a change), and this picture was selected as the best shot from the concert series - bagging wifey and myself 2 tickets to another gig
The stage was raised, with the setting sun and ocean as backdrop - the band were heavily backlit, so I took a series of test frames, and used the histogram in camera to gradually dial-up the correct exposure compensation.
Jaunty angle was used to add interest to an otherwise very standard set-up on stage - and selection was made partially on the good eye contact with Steve in this frame.
They're even using it to promote this seasons concert series - maybe I need to hit them up for some copyright fees!
