Show of Shows

Tonight we went to the wedding anniversary party of some old friends. It was at this old theater in downtown. An anniversary
party in an old theater might seem strange, but these folks are in the concert lighting business and are big fans of Pink Floyd.
When they got married 10 years ago, they put on a huge light show with PF music at concert volumes and all-access passes as
the tickets to get in. Tonight, they revisited that event and it was even better the second time. The whole gig ran about 2 hours
and even included the backstage passes...

It was a trip back in time for me, this was the kind of work I did out of college as a sound engineer and later as an owner of a
concert services business. I saw many old friends and shared many a laugh. A good time was had by all!

Here's an alternate shot from tonight. I can't help taking pictures of this old theater!

Your best image of the Fox. I am a big fan of old neon signs. You really nailed the exposure on this one - not too hot but you still got the details from under the marquee. I prefer this one with the tight crop. Well done.

Good exposure, and very low noise indeed. Good job.

nice shots. I'd quite fancy seeing my name in lights!
