Pumping up the Band

Pumping up the Band by JeremyHall.
On the recent concert where I was positioned back stage to capture the big finale with the audience in the background, I happened to be in the right place to catch this shot. Donny jumped on the piano and charged up the band for the big finish to the song.

This was actually a tough shot to get because he was so strongly back lit and here I was without a flash. Fortunately a bright scene flashed on the huge LCD screen behind me, illuminating Donny for my shot.

To me, this is proof that in addition to talent and charisma, it takes a lot of physical fitness to be a great stage performer.

Very well done, Jeremy. I have just begun to dip my toe in the strobist water - really appreciated your description about the lighting.

Now i suppose if it were a book just about Donny, that would be the cover shot! Outstanding.
