Wow, Immi was just amazing! I loved the full band, the fantastic new arrangements, the crazy energy. She was bopping along like there was no tomorrow! Here are a few pix, with more to come:

I couldn't haul in my DSLR this time, so I bought a compact camera just for this show. I recalled Toasty mentioned that her pix were taken with a Canon A620, so I researched it along with others and settled on it, but it's discontinued now, so I got the A630. It was a struggle to lock focus and hold still, but I did manage to get some good stuff, though the resulting pix are fairly noisy, even after running them through noise reduction software. I also had to boost the brightness since I was using higher shutter speeds. The A620 should produce similar results, yet most of Toasty's photos are crystal clear and well-exposed. Great stuff, but how do you do it?

Does anyone have the set list, or at least know what the Frou Frou song she played was? I'm curious.

Wendelina - The Frou Frou song she played was "Let Go"...also on the Garden State soundtrack. It was AMAZING!!!! SHE'S AMAZING!!! By far the best concert i've ever been to! Now i only wish i had gotten tix to more of her shows!!!

ALSO...KID BEYOND WAS AWESOME!!!!!! I had heard some of his stuff on his Myspace page, but that didn't even compare!! Together, they both ROCKED the stage!!!

Point and click. I usually get a great spot to shoot from and I know what to expect in terms of the stage setup and lighting scheme during the concerts. I try to capture something different at each gig. Suffice to say I have a lot of pictures to choose from after every night. As far as editing goes, I only use an application to resize and, on rare occasions, crop the photos. So basically what you see is what my camera takes. All of the shots I posted from this show have been reduced in size with no other ajustments.

Looking forward to seeing more.

I knew you were going to say you made no other adjustments other than resizing. I had to make tons of adjustments to my photos. What mode were you using (Auto, P, Av, other)? Do you remember what ISO and shutter speeds you were getting? I would imagine that your camera would pick a high ISO (400) and slow shutter speeds, giving you noise and blur. But since you're right at the front (I'm assuming), I guess it might've been bright enough, although from your posted photos you're still relatively sharp and noise-free even when Immi is silhouetted (Pic #3). That's amazing! I was in the middle of the floor, maybe 5 or 6 "rows" back from you, and I had to use manual mode at ISO 800 and shutter speeds of 1/80 to 1/125 to get usable shots that were dim, then boost the brightness and contrast in Photoshop and use a noise reduction program to get the passable final results that you see, and there's still lots of noise in the background. I'm baffled!

I don't know if you've seen my photos from the January show at the Great American Music Hall, but here they are: Imogen Heap at GAMH
