This photogaph was taken several years ago while I was a staff photographer for the Jackson County Fair in Jackson Michigan. Willie Nelson has always been a very well recognized name in country music. There were country music fans of every age at this show. Whether it be young children on their parents shoulders, or long time fans dressed to the tilt, everyone enjoyed the evening. A tip related to shooting in low light. Use a high ISO setting and a low light lens if available. The lower the f stop lens, the better chance at a sharp image with the lowest possible ISO setting on your camera. A newer zoom lens with image stabilization would be a great choice. Using a lens with image stabilization would allow you to shoot without the aid of a tripod. You will want to shoot many frames in continuous mode and then later view these images to see which is the sharpest. Watch the stage lighting. The color of the stage lights will determine the mood of the photograph. Sharpness is a must. Be sure to know how to use your camera in manual mode. Stage lighting will fool your auto settings, so a predetermined manual setting is a must. It was just announced that Willie will be doing a concert once again this year at the Jackson County Fairgrounds. Click here for more information. Happy Shooting!
