Thrice
I had the opportunity recently to do a short road-trip from Seattle to Portland with my son to see Thrice, O’Brother, La Dispute and Moving Mountains at Portland, Oregon’s Wonderland Ballroom. Turned out to be an epic concert experience with all four bands turning in amazing performances.
Obviously I love the music at these concerts, but for me part of the experience is shooting photos. For venues like this where I don’t have professional access, I shoot with a Canon S90 point-and-shoot.
The Canon S90 makes a great concert camera for several reasons. It’s small and not considered a “professional” camera. It has a fast f2 lens at the wide end. It has full manual controls and supports RAW.
All of that combined with a little experience can make a memorable concert photo!
