MAv,
is it you who is snapping those absolutely creamtastic pictures? Or are you simply posting somebody elses pics?
AND
what kind of camera gear do you/the person use?
AND
do you go on tour with das Hip? Or is it just select concerts?

Ah, why thank you. I have taken every single shot that I have ever posted here or on <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehip.com">www.thehip.com</a><!-- w -->, unless there is a photo credit. I'm glad you like them. I'll be posting more --> just posted some more to flickr you might want to check them out.

I'm currently using a Digital Rebel XT and I have a few lenses that I use, a couple of wide angle lenses which are my favorite and a pretty decent zoom (70- 300). I use all canon lenses and shoot from 1/15 to about 1/125 if I can. Most of the Friday night shots were shot at 1600. I did tweak them a little bit, but mostly cause I couldn't sleep last night. I think I over - tweaked the sasquatch photos, so I am going to revisit them.

I shoot in raw, so the originals are abut 10 mb.

I am not "Going on Tour" as they say, but I will be at as many shows as I can get to. I did ride the bus this weekend from Vancouver to the Gorge and back. A first for me and one day in the future I'll write about the weekend . . . it was a good time, I learned a lot and saw some fantastic music performed.

I am pretty sure MAv you have my dream job!
Looking for an assistant by any chance

Despite all the criticisms of the XT being called a "Granpa's Camera" I must say the product that comes out of it is very nice! I always shoot in RAW too and anyone that has the chance should sincerely consider moving to it from JPEG.

All that being said, MAv you have a great eye and a talent for capturing the moment. Thanks for sharing!
