Wallingford Blues and Beer Festival 2011

I decided to tryout my new 550D with 35mm f2 at 3200 ISO which resulted in apertures of F5.6 to 6.3 at decent hand held shutter speeds. Enough of the technobable, here are the results....

The first band up were Jukes Blues. Like most supports they hard to suffer with uneven lighting (the lead singer is second from left)...

 Then, the Aynsley Lister Band.
Is it just me or is the main man a young Hugh Grant lookalike? Suffice to say that young Mr.Lister plays his Fender in a completely different world...

When you don't have to worry about the cost of film or the hassle of changing over after a measly 36 frames, it's so easy to keep shooting...

 Is this Purple Rain?

 Hold on a sec...

 

Don't forget the drummer..

  Thanks

 Or keyboards...

 Or Midus on Bass..

 In fact the whole band..

After an encore and a short interlude..

The Norman Beaker Band came on stage:

What was that about middle aged rock musicians?

They were joined by a certain Mr. Dave Berry...

If I was still doing that when I'm seventy I'd be pleased and surprised!

And I mustn't forget the drummer..

All in all a great night

So was 3200ISO a working speed as you can't tell at this size?

A most emphatic YES!

And the last word? not to the camera but..

Thank you Mr.Lister Sir:
