I just went out to a gig at the sandringham - punk bands playing, including Anarchoix - my partners son is guitarist, so I got some great shots right up close to the stage. Me in my Wallabies shirt - the only bit of colour apart from the red spots!

Anyway, waiting for 400 photos to copy across - mostly with the 50 1.4, some with the 28 2.8.

But me-thinks I need the sigma 30 1.4 - these guys move around a lot, it's dark and even at iso1600 1.4, you can't get a usable shutter speed past about 1/30 - 1/50. And with 50mm turning to 70mm, it's tough to get a lot of action up-close.

hmmm maybe I need a fish-eye...

Come on photos, copy!
