Yes it is Eliza...

The. First shot of prince was cropped from a similar image to the second shot which is also cropped so shows how sharp the 50-135mm really is...

Great purchase John, that's a rare opportunity to purchase a set like that, congratulations. I do find some of the comments rather strange in response to John's opening thread, maybe a little envious in some part... John has purchased a great collection & is then willing to do reviews on them too for the site, maybe some users should be a little more appreciative to others efforts for the site...

John my next purchase is going to be either the DA*300mm or the Sigma 100-300 f4 if I can find one, so would be interested to hear your comments on the 300mm

Got to shoot last weekends Hop Farm Festival in Kent. Was desperate to do this show once I heard Prince was headlining. Strict conditions on Prince no pit, don't be seen in front rows of crowd or camera gear confiscated etc...

So with the 50-135mm I had to get as near to the front as I could but ended up about 50 to 60 metres away from the stage, trying to negotiate banners, clapping hand etc.. It was really diffcult & then had to crop to get anything near decent, but boy was it worth it...

Got in to shoot Beyonce, truly one of the greatest shoots of my light, she was lit up like a london shopping centre xmas tree...

Next stop Hop Farm this weekend with a certain Mr Prince...










Finally the bootylicious shot

Thanks Smeggy, the festival is on a break next year, so 2013 is the next one...

Some of my non music shots from the weekend

Music shots to follow shortly, some are on my flick stream already.

Just the first one I found on google, interesting because I am looking at doing an exhibition myself.

OK now I see why you cropped the feet. The layout of the band in the original is perfect, in the colour version the guy on the left looks huge & uncomfortable.

I think maybe a better crop of the original sundial would be a square crop, making the subjects 3/4 length...

A very good & unbiased review. Think it got most points right..

Here's some good advice;
