Description
Re-uploaded with a newer file for better clarity, enhanced tones, smaller, less intrusive watermark, and no border.If you have been living under a rock, and dont know who radiohead are... check their music out here
The last time Radiohead were in Vancouver, I actually had tickets, but I was also a lot younger, and couldn't get out there. To make matters worse, that was when the ridiculous bus-strike happened, and effectively shut me out.
So I was excited to see them today, kinda makes up for not seeing them before.. Even if it was only First three, no flash..
It rained pretty hard too, so I shot mostly with the 70-200/2.8VR because it is weather sealed.. same with the D300.. so i wasnt too worried..
both myself and the camera got soaked, but here it looks nice and sunny
(I also was laughing at all the other photogs with plastic garbage bags on their cameras trying to get the shot.. haha)

Absolutely bang on shot of Thom. My fave band and still haven't had a chance to catch them yet. If you want to read how close I was then read my journal from last year when I missed them in Prague So near but yet so far!

It's a shame that such a shot only got 75 favourites. It worth way more!

JamesHackland [2009-06-12 00:05:20 +0000 UTC]
So you had your camera gear out in the pouring rain unprotected and nothing happened to it? I didn't think that's what the weather sealing was designed for I thought it was for small amounts of moisture.

Nikon brochures say it is good for at least light rain, for the most part..
Same with this discussion.. [link]
I think I had my anon-bandana tied around the lens-camera connection tho

Even my Canon 5D that isn't sealed survived a dunk in the lake, although I was smart about it and did not turn it on until it was fully dried out.
That's to protect the area where the lens mounts to the camera. Did the lens have internal focusing because that would make a difference too?

Well done. I've listened to Radiohead, good stuff, I can see why many people say Muse sounds like Radiohead.
Great shot as always, can't even tell it was done while raining.

You couldn't have cached Thom's passion for music. His expression shows us all how much he feels what he sings...
Wonderful photo, really.
See ya.

Well, they may be a little true, but his way to be with music and his songs makes us forgive him.
See ya.
