If you are wondering about the “Paul Greene not our mayor” part on the ticket, a quick explanation. In our local area, the Shoalhaven, we have a Mayor called Paul Green (I play touch footy with him) and a world class entertainer, Paul Greene (he was also an Olympic athlete at the 1996 Atlanta Games), who was playing a gig at the local entertainment centre.
The gig was terrific. Supported by Melanie Horsnell & Carra
Last Saturday night, I went to the 1st Culburra Beach Music Festival, at the Culburra/Nowra surf club. The music was great, with Paul Greene heading up the bill. Having never even tried to take photos of musicians playing before, I didn’t realise how frustrating it would be. The microphone is one annoyance for a photographer. The lighting at this gig was another problem. Things were ok during the time there was some daylight outside, but I really needed to open the lens up and shoot high ISO once it got dark outside.
All in all, it was a good learning experince. I would love to do it again, next time with a flash and I would get in a bit closer.
