If you haven’t heard of Giant Drag, listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dugZU0QCYg. Anyway this was their last tour so I made sure I was there. It was also a show where I’ve braved into with just the X100s instead of a ragingly heavy 5d mk ii.
It was refreshing taking photos with it. Firstly because you can get away with using it during gigs where they won’t allow you to bring DSLR cameras and secondly you can hit up the slower shutter speeds and take a pretty stable shot. Autofocusing was the main issue. Image quality doesn’t beat a DSLR but it’s nearly on par (and holds up pretty well in low light).
Here’s a shot of her guitar using a crazy 1/8 shutter speed, see stable stuff:
Annie played a nice balance of new and old, obviously keeping the favourites like Kevin is Gay and Wicked Game till last. The crowd wanted Slayer but she forgot how to play that 🙁
