Orchestral Times!

The wonderfully talented Josh Ritter played 2 gigs in Dublin before Christmas (Well December 11th and 12th to be exact) and I had fun with my new lens (Sigma lens for Nikon , 70-200mm, 2.8 the whole way through)
However, moments after taking my last photo, the bouncer told me that if I didn't put the camera away, it woudl be taken off me as I didn't have accreditation and only photographers were allowed to bring zoom lenses in! I pointed out to him that this was not written on the ticket, and there were no signs up in the venue. As well as that, three (at least) of his colleagues allowed my onto the balcony, and even moved out of my way so that I could get a shot from side of stage.
Go Figure!
Anyway, here are some of the photos from that night.
I forget to mention, that as well as Josh and band, there was also a 24 piece orchestra. These wonderful musicians added another, luscious and lovely level to his music. It was a very special night. Made all the better by the company. Mr. C, SJ & Mr. T.

I will post them all on my flickr site, www.flickr.com/orlak.
