Jennifer's Recital
.JPG)
Jennifer's school put on a musical performance tonight, which was surprisingly pretty tolerable. They have a new music director, and she seems to have some talent. Plus, the kids are getting older, so I suppose that over time, they improve somewhat. Some of the girls that sang solos have truly remarkable voices. But you'll have to take my word for it because I don't shoot video.
I've posted some shots from the recital as a 15 Meg (2:49) Adobe Flash slideshow(recital.swf) that you should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above.
These images were all captured with a Canon EOS 40D with a Canon BG-E2 battery grip. The short lens is an image stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM). The long lens is a Canon L-series ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM) with an ET-83C hood. I did not use a flash for these photos, as it would have detracted from the performance.
If you want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (recital.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro, which I highly recommend.
The soundtrack is Fur Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven, dated 27 April 1810.
