Daughter Dearest has sang at the Planet Georgia Governor’s Mansion, Dizzy World, Universal Studios… and now she’s appeared on stage with a genuine diva… but as she describes Ms. Rashad, a very nice, down-to-earth one.
DD is on the top row on the right.
I gave the 50mm f1.8 lens a real workout Sunday afternoon — this is the kind of thing I bought it for, indoor venues where flash is prohibited — and it performed quite well. To my surprise, it wasn’t wide enough to catch the entire stage, so I did a little stitching work in Photoshop:

Nice work on the panorama shot! I like.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. It helped having those large black areas in the background…
ReplyDeleteVery cool panoramic, Far. Must have been a great concert to attend, too. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to DD! You did a nice job on the stitching, Far.
ReplyDeleteWow -- congrats to DD! And nice job FAR capturing that ... fantastic shots! (How kewl!)
ReplyDeleteHey guys!
ReplyDeleteMaria, it was good. Her high school chorus performed at college-level, but this college is another step up. ;-)
Boran, Olivia, I'll pass your congratses on to DD. I'm sure she'll appreciate them, if she hasn't seen them already.
Hey FAR,
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know PR was a singer (tells you how much I know)! Cool that DD got to get on stage at such a venue. Give her my congrats as well and best wishes for finishing out her first year away from the Manor!
Cool panorama too! It's going to be quite some time before I get to that level (if ever)!
Hiya FAR,
ReplyDeleteCongrats to DD. She should be proud of herself, and I know you and Mrs. Fetch are proud of her.
I agree with everyone on the pictures and the stitching. You did a great job.
Take care.
IVG, Ms. Rashad is a multi-talented individual. I think her stint on The Cosby Show was a departure from her usual stage work, in fact.
ReplyDeleteFM, thanks much on both counts — and good to see you around again!
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faboo!
