Saddledome – heath ofee dot com http://heathofee.com Mon, 16 May 2011 12:33:26 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 Elton http://heathofee.com/2011/05/16/elton/ http://heathofee.com/2011/05/16/elton/#comments Mon, 16 May 2011 13:10:27 +0000 http://heathofee.com/?p=2355 I saw Elton John perform on Saturday night. What an amazing show. He played for a solid 2.5 hours and made the rounds through all his old hits…exactly what we were all there to hear. He is a true performer, and both he and his band are absolutely stellar musicians. It was great to see a legend like Elton play live.

I didn’t take my DSLR to the show with me, but I did stick my X100 in my pocket. Obviously, the little camera didn’t afford me any great closeup shots of Elton or his band, but it did allow me to experiment with the settings necessary for concert photography (something I’ve never done before). So, while there’s nothing terribly special about my shot today, what was important was the learning experience.

It was the kids’ first time watching hockey live, so it was pretty cool to see them enjoy it, and was a great experience for them.

After seeing this shot from my buddy Jesse Pafundi a while back, I knew I wanted to see if I could get my camera in the door so that I could take a similar shot of the Saddledome. Surprisingly enough, I was able to get my gear bag in the door without any trouble…I guess security wasn’t too concerned about photography during the skills competition. So, after the warm up and before the action started, I made my way up to the top of the second bowl and fired off a few shots while the Zamboni was cleaning the ice. While I did make my way back up a little later to attempt some brackets, I was happier with this single exposure. As usual, I brought this shot into PhotoTools for a bit of tweaking and then I sent it to FocalPoint to give it the fun tilt/shift effect. I think this is a fun shot, and I’m glad I have a shot of the Saddledome in my catalogue now.
