Pointfest #2 of 2007 – Review

Sunday I went to Pointfest with some friends and had a great time. We got there a little before 4. I picked up my 4 tickets and 2 photo passes and we headed in. Thanks go out to Dave and Freddie for once again getting me hooked up with the tickets and passes.

Breaking Benjamin – June 15, 2007

I have finally uploaded the pictures that I took at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater of the Breaking Benjamin concert to my gallery. I once again used a Canon 20D with a Canon 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM lens, but this time I used a Canon 50mm F1.4 on my Canon Rebel XT. Having the F1.4 allowed me to maintain a fast shutter speed, mostly 1/320s, while shooting at 800 ISO, compared to 1600 ISO on the F2.8 lens. I was unable to shoot from behind the barricade like last time, so I had to shoot from the pit, which was not easy. I had to really watch the equipment to protect it and also so I did not hit anyone with it.
