I came out of the closet about being an Adam Lambert<\/a> fan back when he was performing on American Idol<\/a>.\u00a0 And yes, I admit that as well, I do watch\u00a0 Idol…it’s pop culture, how can I not.\u00a0 When I heard Adam’s Glam Nation Tour was making a stop in Denver I all but sold my soul shoot the show for the Denver Post.\u00a0 The only bummer was, I didn’t get to stay for the entire show, just the first three songs.\u00a0 But that’s ok, I’ll get the scoop on the rest of the show from my soon to be 70 year old mother.\u00a0 That’s right, she’s a massive fan and plans on hitting Adam’s set in Albuquerque at the Sunshine Theater next month.\u00a0 I’m seriously considering making the drive to join her.\u00a0 If you find it odd that a 70 year old woman is a massive fan, you’d be surprised (as surprised as I was) about his demographic.\u00a0 I was expecting to see mostly LGBT and teenage girl fans, but I was a little off.\u00a0 There were a fair number of the a fore mentioned, but also a pretty big group of women in 35 – 50 range, along with their husbands.\u00a0 For the record, I myself am a lesbian turning 40 in a couple months.\u00a0 I think it’s fantastic that he brings such a wide range of people together.<\/p>\n

A few technical notes:<\/p>\n

This was a soundboard shoot, which isn’t ideal but you take what you can get.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I didn’t know it was going to be a soundboard shoot so I didn’t have my monopod with me.\u00a0 Shooting telephoto at low shutter speeds is never ideal but it’s possible.\u00a0 Luckily, in preparing for the show I had watched a few You Tube videos<\/a> so I knew what to expect in terms of his movement and choreography.\u00a0 I did learn a valuable lesson though, always keep my monopod in the car, just in case.<\/p>\n

I shot primarily with my 70-200\/2.8L with a 2x extender.\u00a0 The first two songs I was shooting that lens on a Rebel xTi so I could get that added .6 magnification.\u00a0 ISO 1600, F5.6 (lowest I could go because of the extender), 1\/80th.\u00a0 For the the third song, Ring of Fire, the lighting on Adam dimmed quite a bit so I switched to my 5D body to get an extra stop by bumping my ISO to 3200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
