Ariane Moffatt at Saint-Lambert en Fête

The music at Saint-Lambert en Fête continued on Friday night after the Foreign Diplomats left the stage.  For a quick look back at those photographs, you can follow this link.  The headliner for Friday night was Ariane Moffatt.  The crowd was into the show right from the beginning, and cheered even more for the singer after she shared the fact that her musical career essentially began in Saint-Lambert, at this very festival though on a much smaller stage, several years before.  Not only did she sing with great voice, but she was also almost a one-woman band, playing the keyboard, guitar and even the drums at different times over the length of the concert.  I enjoyed the performance as well, though my poor old camera was working hard with the low lighting.  It was cranked right up to ISO 1600 for much of the show which resulted in lots of noise in my photographs.  It meant that I wasn't going to be capturing any jump shots like I had during the previous set, but I still managed to freeze the action on stage at various points during the show.  The first photograph in this set was taken at f/2.8, 1/800sec, ISO 1600 at 200mm and the second photograph was taken at f/4.5, 1/80sec, ISO 1600 at 175mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took during the concert.

That's how Friday night came to an end, as everyone stood and cheered for Ariane before making their way home.  But, there was still more music to come on Saturday.  I'll be back with those photographs over the course of the week.
