[Leica] IMG: Eska @ Turner Sims

[Gerry Walden]

Jim

thank you for your comments. I have doubts about the ‘skilled photographer’ on this occasion because i was flying by the seat of my pants a bot having never shot a live concert with the M9, but it seemed to work OK.

Best wishes

Gerry

This is the first time I have used the M9 and the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar f.15 during an actual performance. I normally shoot during soundchecks but Eska wanted me to work at the performance only so that her make-up, costume etc. would be OK. She is a pretty fast-moving artist but I managed to grab some of her more stationary moments during the two numbers we agreed. This was taken at 1/125 @ f2.8 and 1250iso. I was very pleased with the overall results, and have around 30 useable images which is about average.
