I had the opportunity to photograph Papa Roach at 105.7 The Point’s HoHo Show 2009 and they put on a great performance. This was the third or forth time seeing them live and they always put on a heck of a show.

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.

I have had my Canon Rebel XT for over 6 months now and the kit lens just isn’t doing it for me anymore. I think the new Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens is gonna be the next one for me. The cost of L glass is expensive, but I see the results from it everyday at work and the results are fantastic. The added IS will make a dramatic difference in my ability to hand hold shots. I am getting tired of blurry images when taking anything inside. The 24-105 should be a great walking around lens. The photographer I work with has the 70-200mm L glass lens and that thing is a beast. We have a few other non-L glass lenses and the difference in the quality is huge.
