Strings

Amber's spring concert was tonight, even though it feels nothing like spring outside.
She has played the violin since her early grade school days. It's one of those things
that she'll always have over me. I enjoy music, but I cannot play a musical instrument
to save my life. Wait, does Guitar Hero count? Anyways, I attempted to play percussion
in junior high and was quite bad at it. I think I'd be a better producer than a musician.


There was a decent crowd tonight. Nothing like the size of the holiday concert though.
I was able to sit in a few different spots before Amber came on, since I had no idea
what my sight line would be to her seat. Once she came up, I went down to the front row
and sat up there all by myself. Everytime I think of selling my 70-200, I end up with some
great shots at an event like this, and I end up realizing that it does come in handy.

I have a whole bunch of other shots to process from the concert.
I hope to be able to finish those up tomorrow.

Nice DOF John, I may be getting the 70-200 F2.8 IS at the end of the month.

Great capture John. I think the angle of it really enhances it and I like the look of "sereneness" on Amber's face.

This is such a cool shot. I'm glad she enjoys it and doesn't do it because she has to. She is cooler everytime I see her on here.

my three daughters all participated in high school orchestras and bands,
i suppose it's a case of like mother, like daughters.
