sometimes I get to notice, we ussually get first three songs then kicked out, however their management let the togs stay in the pit for the whole show, however the camera crew kicked us out after 8!!! Which is the longest I have stayed at a concert shoot.

We could have had a wander around the arena for the rest of the show, but I had a 2 hour drive home & then had to edit the images, so went home instead.

Only song I knew in those first 8 was Prairie Rose, which I had to say did disappoint. Seems this show also got a few disses on various websites, but also some comments about it being a Roxy Music show rather than a Bryan Ferry show.

The stage show itself was lacklustre I think due to the huge number of musicians, backing singers & dancers along with Ferry's piano being hidden near the back of the stage.

The rest of the set can be seen on the Corbis website www.corbis.com click on editorial then entertainment.

Oh middle 2 where with the Tamron, top & bottom with the 50-135mm

Thanks guys.

These where mostly shot at ISO 1600 f/2.8 & various shutter speeds from 1/60 to 1/320.

I use lightroom 3.3 for my noise reduction. The only reason I would upgrade to k-5 would be for the faster AF but to be honest, I can work well with what I have & for the moment will plod on with the GX20's..

No it's not glamourous lol, I have never yet come across a glamourous shoot or location

My summers are usually spent in knee deep muddy fields at carious music festivals. though I did get to shoot a couple of festivals in Ibiza lst year which had its moments lol...

Yes I knew the 16 gig cards had issues but I thought I was getting the same cards as I had already with out issues, but the labels & packaging are totally different. So card is a different design too. Maybe time to invest in some san disks now...

No not knock offs, but definitely an inferior quality...

Yes my previous Transcend 8 gig class 10 cards are fine, which is why I ordered some more. Clearly these are a different batch & quality too it would seem.

Unfortunately Smeggy they are a necessary evil, with posting on Flickr, most of my stuff ends up on tumblr & they have really bad copyright grabs.

I certainly will not put any of my images on the net without them... Just this week I have come across 4 unauthorized uses on commercial websites which I am currently pursuing.

Ok bought three of these

Using them last night for a concert shoot, formatted them all before the show. Whilst shooting the show I used hi speed shooting mode & the camera hung, eventually an error message popped up on the back screen saying couldn't write image to card

So I put another card in got the same prolem
Same with the 3rd.

OK when I got home retrieved the images that where on them, formatted them & compared them to my other Transcend 8 gig class 10 cards I bought last year.

with my old cards I could shoot 22 frames before the buffer filled, with the new card I got 16 & then it would hang. This was the same for all three cards & on BOTH my GX20 bodies.

7 day shop are refunding but if you are looking to purchase these cards I would be weary.

My old cards have a little logo which say 20 mb/s write speed, the new ones don't so something has changed...

Just curious what does the '?' button on the top do???

Smutje

OK here is my experience, I have been ebaying since 1989, I have had numerous ebay powerseller accounts, my current ebay powerseller account has over 10,000 transactions through it. I have a business paypal account which has seen over 30,000 transactions through it, so I think I know what I am talking about.
I have also had an online store which accepted paypal shopping cart as its check out method.

I have seen many scams on ebay & online trading methods.

I can only also tell you my experience as a buyer using paypal gift which the seller specified. I did not lose out on this transaction being a buyer, my seller on the other hand could have potentially lost £280 & his camera.

This kind of fraud is soon going to be rife on forums like this.

This is how the scam will work...

You have an expensive item for sale, say a K-5 for £700, you want payment by paypal gift.

Scammer joins the forum to buy the camera, he offers to collect the camera & pay by paypal gift when he collects the camera, as there is no buyer protection using paypal gift as it is not meant for sale transactions, so you think that's reasonable.

The buyer goes to your house, likes the camera, transfers the paypal payment using his mobile phone. You check your paypal account on your computer & see the funds are there. You let your buyer go with the camera.

You log into your paypal account an hour later or so & get a warning saying your account has been suspended for suspicious activity, you jump through the security hoops & confirm the account is yours & you have received the payment. Your account is still pending investigation.

A week later the investigation is concluded & the £700 is reverted back to your buyer as you cannot prove this is a gift transaction.

How do you explain to Paypal that it wasn't a gift payment???

How are you going to get your money or camera back???

The seller would have setup the Paypal account using a hotmail address & is long gone with your money & camera.

So unless you know buyer very very well, I would be very weary of offering Paypal gift as a payment method
