One of the final musical acts at Toronto Wintercity was The Stills. I think they’re pretty popular; they certainly drew a good crowd that night. I’m not convinced I like their music [ I mean, I did stand in the middle of cold for an hour listening to it], but they were good technically and artistically. It was quite fun playing around with my camera in a concert setting though…as you can tell, I don’t really take pictures of people, and this was a very nice change. I started with my starter glass, but eventually upped to my faster, 50mm prime, only to realize I have to be much much closer to get some decent shots. You’ll have to excuse my poor photography skills in some of the other pictures in this set. They really could have turned out much nicer if I actually brought my telephoto stuff with me. In fact, most of my photos from that weekend could have benefited from a telephoto lens. I really should start carrying it with me more often…

In any case, this was a pretty good week for pretty pictures . Next week, I hope to bring you some photos from my trip to the Allan Indoor Gardens. I’ll be going with a group, so I’ll definitely be getting some good coaching and learning out of it. Until then!
