Here's a link to some pretty dang nice photos I took at Reggae on the River last weekend.

Frum's Reggae Photos

Nix Pix Frum - did you get a chance to actually enjoy the show or were you too busy being creepy Mr Papparazi?

Side note : I get to see each picture in the main frame considerably longer than 10 seconds since it takes longer than 10 seconds to load and it times when to show the next picture from when the current picture finishes loading. Not a problem, just interesting behaviour when not viewed via broadband.

ps have been seeing pictures refresh while I've been typing this - Wow, you got some really good photos - they definitely look publication/poster quality - as good or better than what I generally see in the press or as posters. Nice work!

pps. Not sure if came across right, but the previous comment was meant as a compliment.

Thanks, vr

I sure had a great time. And I'm really happy with a lot of the photos I got. I was privileged to have a backstage pass and photo pass. The latter allowed me to go into the photo pit right in front of the stage to take pictures. I could even rest the lens *on* the stage, which I did to steady it occasionally--but ironically, it vibrated more with contact with the stage than when I was just holding it freehand.

That one Ziggy Marley in the collage above is sure nice. With him looking right at you, it just seems extra powerful, and that utterly calm expression... I dunno, exactly, but that one grabs me the most, though many of the other ones have "cool" factor. For anyone who didn't realize, the link in my first post above takes you to more, larger photos.

They're all sharper in their full-resolution splendor than they appear in that web gallery. These have a pretty good deal of jpg compression applied to both make 'em smaller and less good for ppl who want to grab 'em and use 'em w/out my say so. You friends would be able to have better ones if you wanted, like desktop size f'rinstance.

He can't compare to Porsche either. He falls way behind on the corners.

LOL! :lol:

hmmm on reflection, it might have been a more layered joke if instead of commenting on the corners I had said something about ziggy having difficulty on the straight parts?

Toots and the maytals ftw

Yeah, Ziggy's probably great on the corners!

I might have photos of them somewhere. They're pretty good.
