Bell X-1 @Google

The thoroughly excellent Bell X-1 (The band, not the first aircraft to break the speed of sound, although I suppose that too was somewhat excellent) dropped into Google a few months back to play a lunchtime set for Musicians@Google.


By now I hope I'm getting an idea for what makes a good photo, or at least what may look interesting, so I perched myself up at the front row for both the sound check and the gig itself and took a few shots.


After each gig, the organisers of Musicians@Google in Dublin arrange for a picture of the artist to be hung outside the venue, along with a guitar that everyone so far has signed. Since getting 3 band members into one shot was next to impossible, I decided to have a go at making a montage photo out of a single shots of all 3. The outcome, for better or for worse, can be seen below!

My Camera(s)

Since December 2009 I've been the proud owner of a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, which I'll mention is my first and only 'proper' camera. Before this I've used an eclectic mix of regular point-and-shoots and camera phones.

 

The lenses that I'm using are the standard Lumix G Vario 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 (shown on the picture above) and an additional Lumix G Vario 45-200mm/F4.0-5.6 shown left.

The myriad settings on this type of camera (what I guess you might call a mini-SLR) definitely takes some getting used to, but so far that's been part of the fun. The pictures that I'll be posting to this blog will be coming from the G1 mostly, with perhaps a few from my phone thrown in for good measure.
