Here's a quick preview from Andrew Bird at the Pageant last night. This lead shot is a full-frame, uncropped image made with the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 on the Nikon D3  at ISO 2000 and 1/200 at f/1.4.

Andrew Bird always has a slightly special place in my heart, not only because I love his music, but because photographing him in 2006 was my very first official photo pass.

Photographer's Notes:

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D3
  • Nikon D700

Lenses Used:

This Andrew Bird show was all about primes. I shot at f/1.4 or f/1.6 the whole night with these primes and they ate up the tricky lighting with ease.

Stay tuned for the full set and shooting notes.
