This shot is one of just a few that turned out well when I got the opportunity to see Carrie Underwood at the Grand Ole Opry. The Opry is one of the few concert events where audience members are actually encouraged to "rush the stage" to support the artists. I took my chance, put on the 80-2oo zoom, and took probably 200+ shots. Out of those, about six turned out well. That's the way it goes, and here is one of my favorites. When shooting concerts from the audience, there's no chance to set up lights, so you take what the venue gives. I like the red rim-lighting around her hair here, and once again, it was one of a handful that didn't turn out blurry. I've probably said it a dozen time since then, but I wish I could have been just a few feet closer! I used my SB800 flash on this one (they let you do that); exposure is 1/60 sec at f/2.8.
