Opening Act - L.V. Banks & His Swinging Blues Band


L.V. Banks & His Swinging Blues Band performed at Buddy Guy's Legends just before Michael Burks last Saturday. Another excellent performer!

This image was shot in JPG rather than RAW on the Fuji S5 Pro. This was taken with a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 lens set at f 3.2. Shutter speed on the camera was 1/30 second and the ISO was 3200.
The Fuji S5 pro seems to do just as well in JPG as in RAW. Be sure to click on the image to get a closer look.

Russell,

Nice shots of the concert.
The one of L.V. Banks is almost like a "working portrait" or something.

Keep Pickin' !

I was at least 30 feet or so away from him at the time. The Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR lens really resolves the image and the new Fuji S5 pro has a great image sensor.

Even with that much distance, if you click on the image to enlarge it and look closely at the microphone holder, you can still read the name of the manufacturer on it (Shure.) That's amazing!
