Mamarazzi at Work: Winter Concert Preview
-
Call me crazy, but I love school concerts!
ISO 3600 1/125s at f/6.3. 14-24 mm lens. Focal length: 24 mm

That’s Bradley in the black tie when the chorus was lining up. Notice how he’s purposefully NOT noticing me.
ISO 2500 1/250s at f/4.5. 135 mm lens.

Great place to test my new camera, of course — such a bad lighting situation. But the music was good!
ISO 2000 1/320s at f/2.8. 80-200 mm lens. Focal length: 105 mm

The kids liked this part of the song, except Bradley’s got the 7th grade eye roll thing DOWN. I use so many prime lenses (lenses with a fixed focal point — they don’t zoom) that I totally forgot I could zoom in closer with this 80-200 mm lens. But I love how the picture shows all the different expressions. I’m glad I didn’t zoom!

Bradley’s in the band too. (Clarinet on the second row, but don’t even try squinting because you can’t see him in this low res Web version.) I can’t come to the concert tonight, so I usually try to go during the day when the ensembles perform for a school assembly. One of the teachers came up to me during a staging break, looked at my big camera and said, “You’re scaring the children.”

That’s NOT Bradley in high-waters and white ankle socks! (Thanks to Mike’s latest greatest internet find of custom-made pants that actually fit those who are so tall and super-thin they can’t find pants that fit in any store. Trust me. We’ve looked everywhere there is to look.) This is one of those shots I never could have gotten with my old camera. I LOVE my new Nikon D3! Oh, and I don’t know who that kid is, but I’m telling you, if he was at my middle school, the kids would have LOVED those ankle socks!
ISO 6400 1/100s at f/6.3. 28-70 mm lens. Focal length: 70 mm
That looks like a skirt! Not Pants…um I think you need a bigger lens!;-)
great pic of the kids on the risers

Those are definitely pants, because that’s definitely a boy. So either they’re pants, or that’s a very odd boy, and not just a kid who grew 6 inches over the summer whose mom and dad didn’t have time to get new pants.
