Those G10 shots look good - would be nice to see larger ones. Do you have the photobucket "resize" option selected?
Maybe I should have done it in shutter priority?
That's what I use. Otherwise, the camera selects too low a shutter speed for the action.
I would've loved the whole song.
Guess that means I'll just HAVE to go to more shows next year!!
Here's the flickr link.
U2 Las Vegas, 10/23/09 - a set on Flickr
Hi Dakotalola - my friend and I were standing right behind u! I remember your name from the lanyard around your neck. Your pix look great!
Hi, thanks! I have some others too and I'll put them on flickr where they can be seen in a larger size. I was a little disappointed in how few photos came out decently. Adam was easy to get shots of. Bono is another story. White spotlight and distance/movement I guess. Did a lot of post processing on the Bono shots. Another thing I have to practice. I had custom settings of no flash, hi iso option, image stabilizer, continuous focus, exposure down one stop, in program mode. Maybe I should have done it in shutter priority?
I'll post the flicker link in a little bit
Best band and most photographed band in the world. Great photos everyone. Loved hearing some of In God's Country; wished it were more...but I am satisfied with what was given. Great to have met people from all over the world.
Hey everybody. I didn't really meet anyone at 9 Fine but I was there for about 45 minutes, I guess I was being kind of shy and didn't walk up to anyone and start talking. It was kind of low key in the beginning, everyone just kind of looking at each other thinking, ok who are you? Anyway I know I saw Sicy, recognized your pic from your avatar. I talked to a nice couple from Australia, and a few other men, one from Denver. My husband wanted to leave so we did.
My seat turned out to be in the first row behind the stage. It didn't totally suck but it wasn't that great either. The boys did venture to the back several times but still, it seemed so far away. I guess that's what happens after you've been in the front row on the front side a couple times, it kind of ruins you for anything else.
But I did get to take in alot that I missed being up so close in Toronto...the lights, the screen, the crowd... and I got my tshirt that said LAS VEGAS on it before the show, I heard from a guy I ran into at the airport that they ran out of them, so I'm so glad I decided to get it on my way in.
It was definitely a night to remember. Oh and I met Ladywiththespinning head and 2 of her friends at the MGM lunch buffet on Thursday. I knew if I wore my Vertigo tshirt I would run into somebody, and I did!
Are they on the internal memory Julie?
Hi!
Nope, I don't think so - how do I check?
I have the pics from just prior to U2 and after U2 but not the band themselves
it was GREAT meeting you guys at the party and in line!
I think I was supposed to go to your room after the show but couldn't remember the room number Carlos told me - I thought it was 12203 but there was no 12203.
Unless he deliberately pointed me in the wrong direction
Thanks Sicy - I'll try that!
Vegas was awesome!!! The 2 or 3 guys running the GA line were fantastic-- hats off to them. I think their names were Vic and Pat? They made it a great day for hundreds of people. They spent the night outside taking names and giving out numbers while telling everyone to go get some sleep and be back at 6am. Very cool guys! I believe the count was around 250 by 6am.
The Claw looked so tiny inside of Sam Boyd Stadium-- it really felt like an arena show. The fans around us were totally cool-- zero pushing and shoving inside the circle. My personal highlights were Until the End of the World and Ultraviolet. UTEOTW really just brought the house down!!!
Here are a few pics from our spot, 2nd row center inside the circle. It was a perfect night!!!!!
