The musical coverage continues here on the old blog with another musical act from the recent Saint-Lambert en Fête. The act on the stage this past Saturday night was a local Montreal artist by the name of Jesse Mac Cormmack. I'd never heard anything by him before, and the show got off to a rough start as there were some technical issues related to the way his guitar was plugged in to some pedals, but once he got things sorted out, the music began to flow. The show began at 7:00PM so there was still a little bit of sun in the sky, allowing me to not have as much noise despite using a large ISO. I think that I was briefly spotted from my position in the crowd as a smile was flashed in my direction, 
which can be seen in the first photograph. I also grabbed a couple of cool band photographs and one of my favourites, a shot of the drummer with his sticks in the air. I was also at a good angle to catch some of the looks that the drummer would give to Jesse during the performance, the last photograph of this batch being my favourite of those. Jesse didn't move around very much on the stage so I tried to focus on capturing facial movements, trying to capture the feelings that he was experiencing while playing. The first photograph was taken at f/3.5, 1/400sec, ISO 1600 at 140mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.5, 1/800sec, ISO 1600 at 135mm. Here are some more photographs that I took during the show.

I took these photographs from the other side of the stage than I had been the other night as I did a bit of research and found out that the guitar players were both right-handed. It was a good strategy that really paid off. The position also allowed me to witness a near riot, but that story will be saved for the next time.
