In that case I wouldn't wish a replay of it, perhaps wishing a more
successful "second attempt" would be better?
OM Content:
My small city has a series of weekly concert band performances in a park
bandshell during the summer. This is definitely a dying U.S. tradition
(all but dead??). It is far from dying here. The band numbers over 60
musicians of all ages and the concerts are attended by at least several
hundred (arrive early and bring your own lawn chair). Although we had
thunderstorms most of the day, it broke by late afternoon blessing us with
good weather for the concert. As you might imagine, the theme this evening
was July 4th type music and the park was mobbed with about a
thousand. Went out with the OM-2S to finish off the last eight frames of
some Kodachrome 64. Shot the first two-thirds of the concert that began
just before sundown using a tripod and an 85/2 Zuiko. Started using f/2.8
@ 1/30th and gradually worked to f/2 @ 1/15th as daylight slipped away.
Oh, yes, almost forgot; I had grilled hot dogs and apple pie just before
leaving for the concert. :-)
