The rain was coming down in buckets Saturday morning, but it stopped long enough for My Lovely Assistant to convince me to get into the car for a short trip to the Parc Michel-Chartrand where the city of Longueuil was having their 36 Hours of Colour festival. Sadly, a few minutes into the ride the rain returned, and it didn't stop. We still continued on our trek as The Lost Fingers are a group that both of us enjoy. They were also enjoyed by about 20 other people as the rain did a great job of keeping everybody away. I don't know if this counts as a trend, but this is the second time that I've attended, and photographed, a Lost Fingers concert in rather bad 
weather conditions. There was the downpour of this past Saturday afternoon, and the previously freezing cold temperatures of a New Year's Eve show they gave at the Old Port of Montreal on the last day of 2013. Thinking there would be a larger crowd, I only brought a telephoto lens with me as I thought I'd be shooting from farther back. Had I wanted to, I could have gone to the front of the stage, though I think the people behind me would have been upset about my umbrella blocking their view. As it was, I stood among the other concert goers, umbrella in one hand a camera in the other. The first photograph was taken at f/6.3, 1/160sec, ISO 320 at 70mm and the second photograph was taken at f/4.5, 1/320sec, ISO 320 at 123mm. Here are several more photographs that I took during their show.

Despite the rain, a good time was had by all who attended. The band played all of their hits and were having a good time up on the stage. They were all smiles and laughs, making the best of a less than perfect situation. Hopefully we'll see them again soon under better meteorological conditions, but if not, I'm sure they'll have everyone dancing in the rain once again.
