Daughtry

Went to the Arizona State Fair last night and checked out Daughtry for $7 It was a cool show. I wasn't a huge fan, but his voice sounded amazing live.

I shot these with my little p&s digital, and I was having to really crank this puppy hard to get good shots out of him. Set iso to 400, exposure compensation set to - 2 ev, spot metered on highlights, and shot wide angel to keep the f2.8 aperature open and motion blur to a minimum. At that, for a p&s handheld I think they came out okay

Toward the end of the show, he announced that this was the last show on his tour. It was cool to see him take a moment to gaze out at the audience and arena, obviously taking it all in. Like his music or not, this young man has had a meteoric rise and it was humbling to watch him soak in every last minute of what I believe was his first national tour. Cool stuff. In all its grainy goodness

No need to cc, these are just for fun. Thanks.

These are pretty amazing considering the camera. You should post a link to this in the thread about "is it the camera or the photographer". While these aren't the same images you could have captured with a higher end camera, they do show you know how to use the equipment you had to capture some great images.
