Cool Runrig---The Concert

Not the best quality, taken with my now elderly p&s but it was a fabulous concert by one of my favourite groups and I want to share.

Thanks Steve, I think it was more by luck than skill, I kept trying different settings and ended up with the action mode which worked best, no flash allowed.

Hi, this is Runrig from Scotland, they sing both in Gaelic and English and are a terrific live band.

These are great....those p&s can come in handy with that 2.8 aperture for those low light situations.....I have used mine at the Nutcracker performance but not quite with the results that you have gotten

Great colors and excellent exposure. I like how you've been able to capture the light rays as well.

Great job Bill! I can hardly believe that your first pic was captured with a P&S - fantastic! I'm a Runrig fan too - great band,

Great photos Bill and yes, Runrig are a fantastic live band.

Last time I saw them Donny was still up front, although I like the present singer I still miss Donny's unique voice.
