We continue to work our way through the action of last Saturday. This time my camera and I found ourselves at the Théâtre Corona for a concert. The opening band on the bill was a group from British Columbia known as The Wild. This was my first time hearing them and they were fast and loud. Just right for a rock band. I was once again allowed to bring my camera into the building, though once again limited to my 50mm lens. We got there early enough so I could once again get a spot near the stage, close enough to see the band, and against a side wall so that I would not have to worry about any floating bodies. The lights were kind of low, so a high 
ISO was needed, though I tried to make sure I did not go any higher than 1600 in order to limit the amount of grain in my photographs. There is still some there, but there seems to be less than I am used to seeing. The band would often group together at the front of the stage, which allowed me to grab some nice shots of the singer, guitarist and bassist in action together. I managed to crop out a couple of single shots as well, which are always nice to get under such conditions. The first photograph was taken at f/3.5, 1/100sec, ISO 1600 at 50mm and the second photograph was taken at f/2.2, 1/500sec, ISO 1600 at 50mm. Here are a few more photographs that I took during the show.

Though they only played for about half an hour, The Wild quickly won over the crowd with their playing, and even tossed out a 'Go Habs Go!' to further win favour with the local crowd. They put on a good show and got the crowd ready to rock for the headliner, which should be coming up in our next update.
