Here's something from the concert at the Oak Glenn Winery this past weekend. This time around a local band named Head Rush was playing. It's great when you get a nice day, a decent band and a crowd with a bit of alcohol in them. Once the crowd figures out you're the photographer for the event it doesn't take long for everyone to start playin' poser. Nothin' but fun and a good time and the best part is I'm getting paid for this. The last concert for the year is this weekend. Gonna be a long wait for Spring to arrive for sure.

And... me! Had someone take this for me (although telling them how to properly take a picture was a pain **********...).

Football player is great, krp.

NOBD: interesting shot! I think the black and white works really well here, how does it look in colour?

Krp480: the football player is really good and I like the eyes shot as well. I'm not really feeling the other ones.

Crane's: shame you didn't get her other hand in the frame, but a cool shot nonetheless! I'm thinking you desaturarized it a little?

From more: more Divali! Yesterday was mostly a scouting exercise, so I knew where the good pics would be today:

If you ever post a close up of a spider, you're gonna have to give me fair warning.

Spoiler: Fair warning

I can't figure this one out, never seen anything like this:

Basically, there's a shadow of a building in the clouds?

Combination of some very misty/foggy/smoggy air and a very bright spotlight? Kinda like how the Bat-Signal must work. Cool effect.

Trader- well that's why I would rather use a self timer and a tripod, its much easier !

I was hoping that this thread wasn't going to have too many posts in it since the recent ones have been really good... but when I saw there were none where has everyone been??!?! Oh well... here are a few from the past few days:
