Trying out the new lens in a concert setting and it appears we have a new favorite …

Patrick Devlin is not a small guy. He’s up over 6 feet and to get that much of him in a landscape oriented shot and have it come out that bright and that clear with no flash in those lighting conditions is a testament to the capabilities of this lens.

And when you go in close it gets even better…

Wrens

I have, on and off for the last several years, noticed a pair of Wrens in our backyard. They have always been very elusive, flying away before I can grab my camera or before Cynthia could make it to the window to see them for herself.

They’re hard to spot unless you know what you’re looking for. They share many of the markings and coloration of the common sparrow which are in great abundance in our yard.

Today as I was walking through the living room I noticed a bit of activity outside the window and looked out to find both Wrens engaged in a flurry of activity. I went to grab my camera and was sure they would be gone by the time I got back but they weren’t.

One was hopping all around one of the potted plants

They didn’t seem to notice me for about 5 minutes so I was able to shoot quite a few pics finally!

The event was an overwhelming and resounding success, if I do say so myself (and I do!)…

Tons of great people, great music, great food and talk about some GREAT photos. I was humbled to be in such company! I only wish I knew what more people who had work in the show looked like in person so I could have introduced myself.

I will confess a vain joy whenever I saw someone linger in front of my lone entry and when the red dot showed up on the wall next to my entry indicating it had been sold that was pretty much the topper for the whole ~~evening~~ month!
