I was assigned to shoot a Johnny Mathis show in Redwood City. I was only allowed to shoot from behind the sound guys probably 150 feet away and only for 3 songs. I was worried about camera shake on the 80-200 zoom I was shooting with, so I was happy that I got anything at all. Most of the full zoom shots were unuasable. Posted by Hello

That's a nice shot given the difficult conditions. My wife and I went to his last concert in S.F. You captured the ambience of the event very nicely. I liked the fact that the audience can be seen at the bottom of the shot. It looked like he was slowly walking to his left. It would have been nice to have waited until he strolled in front of the black spot in the background. When you snapped this shot, there was some distracting objects behind his head. Also, since he is so far to the edge of this shot, the band is almost too dominant, making the shot more about the band, than about Johnny Mathis.

What ISO were you shooting at?
