After around 55 years of pressing the shutter button I am still learning all the time.

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.
