The lights were swinging across the crowd, and I just happened to get a shot 
right in the lens.
Most of the time the audience was in the dark so I was happy to get 
something to show that
the concert was well-attended.  I had all sorts of trouble using the 1D MkII 
and 30D in the dark
and changing conditions - couldn't see to push the correct control buttons, 
the AF wouldn't lock on to where I 
wanted to focus, and I couldn't seem to manually get a sharp image.  I 
wished I would've been
using a rangefinder camera.
