That's fantastic. And yeah, there are lots of new folk here. Hey, everybody!
hahahh where did you get that pic?
That pic is CLASSIC! What a great set-up too, LaurieBlue! :)
I've been lurking for a long time.
I've been smoked out of my cave by the Boston (my hometown) shows with the Pops!
I meant to put up the rest of the blog where I got that, and some more, but I had to run. I couldn't resist getting that FABULOUS photo up here first though. So, credit must be given:

When midnight came and My Morning Jacket was about to begin I staked out a spot on the outer edge to shoot with a 300 2.8 and 1.4 converter. Knowing the light would be tough I took my ASA up to 800 to start with. Just as the show was about to begin the 15 fans in front of me decided to climb up on the trashcans and completely block my view! I quickly moved to the side, dodging people sitting on blankets and started to shoot. Jim James, the lead singer seemed to have felt my pain of the poor lighting and simply came out with a camping lantern! Was that supposed to help? It was VERY dark and I ratcheted down my shutter speed trying to get the moment. I feel certain had I not been shooting on RAW I would not have been able to pull it off.
Great pic Laurie :)
Is this not the best desktop wallpaper? Hide all your desktop icons and just have this in the center. It's amazing. Lovely.
