At long last I was able to upgrade (to a Rebel T3 since I got a too-good-to-pass-up deal that actually allowed this mama of 7 to hold a dream in the palm of her hand.) Once I was fully comfortable with the camera (which didn't take long...I'd borrowed one from the high school yearbook via my daughter a few times) I added my new favorite lens (50mm f/1.8), and finally...finally I am starting to be able to get what I see live into the shots! Hallelujah!! I'm still learning the ins and outs of the new lens, but I am LOVING them SO much!! Here are some of the most recent images with Looking 4 Eleven at King's Tavern, Paradise, CA:

Looking for the shot...
My most frequent outings involve photographing my husband's band Looking 4 Eleven. The live concert situation presents many problems and hurdles that portrait, lifestyle, and nature photography do not, and which I struggled for a long time to surmount. My technical knowledge was sound, I understood the factors that went into a good photo, and how to manipulate them...but my equipment was not completely up to the task. I was using a Canon PowerShot sx130is, and pushing that little baby just as far as I possibly could, which worked pretty well for most other situations, but was growing increasingly frustrated with the results of shots from smaller clubs. They weren't BAD pictures. In fact a lot of people really liked them...but I wasn't satisfied. I knew I could do better.
