Stairway

Stairway by mikepirnat.
On my way back to my room, I stumbled upon a quiet jam session that was rocking the end of "Stairway to Heaven." Brilliant! I just wish I'd had the patience to bust out the Gorillapod to get some more stable shots as I was too tired to hold the camera still enough to avoid needing the flash.

See? You hate the camera flash too. Everyone hates the camera flash. Why does the camera flash even exist? Stupid camera flash.

@meyerweb: Well, I like the flash I bought for it, but it's not as awesome from a distance. The onboard flash, though--yuck.

Also I didn't want to disturb the performance. They were pretty good, and a nice treat to listen to at the end of a very very long day.

@Kusmeroglu: I've gotten pretty decent with my flash and 50mm prime for portrait work over the past few months (newborn + Cleveland winter = lots of shooting at home), but even if I'd switched lenses I would have gotten closer than I wanted to, and I really didn't want to bug these guys since I was enjoying the music so much.
