Jerome 50 At Parc De La Cité

It's been a while since I've been able to hear, let alone photograph, some live music.  I came upon a little internet message from Longueuil est Culture announcing that Jerome 50 would be having a mobile concert close to where I live on Thursday night.  Mobile was the right word.  He arrived in a pick-up truck and performed, along with his accompanying keyboardist, from the bed of the truck with a single spotlight.  Interesting combination to work with as a photographer.  With mask firmly attached, I worked my way around some of the people in attendance and found a couple of spots to shoot from.  Always being sure to keep 2 Meters from everyone.  There were lots of shadows, but it was fun to be out shooting some music again. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/1600sec, ISO 6400 at 160mm.  Here are a few more photographs from the show.

It was certainly a fun challenge shooting a one-light show.  Lots of trial and error as I played with different shutter speeds.  I think I came up with some nice shots though.  I also really like my photograph with the moon, though I had to cheat a little bit to get it.  If you'd like to find out more about Jerome 50 and his music, you can find his website by following the link.  Feel free to also look up Longueuil est Culture and the Théâtre de la Ville de Longueuil for more culture activites if you live around the area.  Will there be any other concerts in 2020?  Only time will tell.
