Bloc Party @ The Concourse in San Francisco and cameras

Bloc Party @ The Concourse in San Francisco and cameras by ToastyKen.
(Project 365 Day 149)
The ticket said "no camera or recorders", but flashes were going off all over the place. :P

This really made me appreciate the shutter-priority mode on my Fujifilm F30. Even though it doesn't have full manual, the shutter-priority is useful in a case like this when I want to artificially shorten the exposure beyond what I could do even with exposure compensation set to -2. (The backlighting effect wreaked havoc with the auto-exposure. :P) I set this to 1/60 sec.

(See also this other shot and their opening act.)

great colours indeed. the fact that someone else is taking a picture at that same time is a nice touch.
