Alex, I shot R.E.M. during the summer in Ireland and I used my 70-200 F2.8 IS along with an EOS 5 and loaded the camera with Fuji Provia 400 F rated at 800. We were allowed in the pit for 3 songs and then marched out. Michael Stipe was all over the place, you needed lightening reflexes. The band is usually on a much higher level than the photographers, so even though your really close you need the 70-200 and to step back to get the angle right.
Anyway it is a great adrenaline rush. One of my images I took can be seen here if your interested. http://www.conortwomey.com/portfolio/REM_03_33.shtml Kind Regards, Conor. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
