Roots'n'Blues was a blast!

The Roots'n'Blues'n'BBQ festival was held this weekend in Columbia, and it was terrific. Bands like the Del McCoury Band, Buddy Guy, Music Revue Relief Effort, and many more came to perform, and the music was excellent.

My daughter Amy also did some shooting, as she trains to be a second shooter at events. She did a terrific job. You can see her best stuff under the Special Events link on the website. She did a bunch of terrific shots, but here's my personal favorite:



Shooting many stage events can be challenging: the light is variable, highly directional, and sometimes very low. To get a good picture regularly (it's too optimistic to say "consistently") takes a lot of work and some experience. You have to learn a few tricks to make it work.

My favorite photo from the shoot was this one:



What a terrific time! And we do love event shooting!
