Murray A. Lightburn At Théâtre Corona

My latest photo pass experience found me at the Théâtre Corona on Sunday night.  The opening act on that evening was Murray A. Lightburn.  Perhaps better known as vocalist and guitarist for local group The Dears, he has been building a solo career over the last couple of years.  He released a new album back in February, Hear Me Out, and was promoting it by playing some songs.  It was a very minimalist setting, just Mr. Lightburn and his guitar, so I tried to move around a lot and play with the different colours of light as he was drenched in a different colour for each of the three songs I was permitted to photograph.  I had a great time and it felt really easy to do.  The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/125sec, ISO 800 at 70mm.  Here are several more that I took during the performance.

Though I was aware of his music, this was my first time seeing Murray A. Lightburn live.  His songs were full of emotion and raw without all of the other noise that comes with a band.  Just a man and his guitar, sometimes you just don't need anything more.  To find out more about Murray A.
