What a night rockin' the blues at the Shalin Lu Performance Center in Rockport. A great performance by these stars playing the blues. These photos show what a point and shoot can do if used correctly. I shot these with a Canon Powershot G15. Using a P&S for this stuff is pretty difficult with the performers moving around quite a bit. So I took up the challenge and the results amazed me. This little pocket mighty is impressive even though the sensor is about the size of half my thumbnail. The image stabilization worked really well for the slow shutter speed stuff and at 3200 I was, well blown away. I have not printed any of them yet but when I do I'll be sure to post the results. For the most part I was really happy with how things turned out. The focus is fast but not for this stuff. Shutter lag is also an issue. But hey, it's a point and shoot!
