Only a couple hundred people showed up for this free concert in front of The Blue Note in downtown Columbia, MO. All demographics were there to enjoy the show. For those who don't know Dr.Zhivegas is a cover band that plays hits from the 70's with a modern touch.I got there late with a low battery on my camera but I decided to take pictures and see how far I could get. It wasn't more then 10 frames before my camera was completely dead. I was shit out of luck and really bummed I was going to miss this opportunity. Luckily a fellow photographer found me and lent me a battery I could use for the night. He pretty much saved my life. Thanks. With my fully charged battery I was good to go for the rest of the concert. I alternated between a telephoto and wide angle lenses to get a range of different shots. I had to find something that was fast enough to capture some of the low light situations that are presented with all the changing lights. I shot manually and was constantly adjusting shutter speed. I found that 350 to 500 was the lowest I could go without getting a blurry image. The only problem is that my lenses are not top of the line and have high F-stops. I either had to wait for the lights to get bright and snap some pictures or lower the shutter speed and settle for a slightly blurry image. After all the troubles I got some pretty good shots. The lead singer Frankie Muriel even took a picture with me. I will be a life long fan for sure. Thanks guys. YOU ROCK!!!
