Just got back from a fun trip to LA to play Spaceland with Swim Party. The fact that places like Spaceland exist up there almost make me want to move to LA...almost. And that's saying a lot.
The sound guy was spectacular, the set sounded great, and I got a chance to use the 40d to take some concert photos. Just a quick note on it vs. the Rebel - the shutter is much more sensitive/responsive, which takes some getting used to, and shooting in burst mode is a lot faster. Which led to me accidentally shooting four photos in rapid succession a couple times when I only meant to take one.
Also, I'm still retraining myself as to where all the buttons/functions reside on the 40d. It's set up totally different from the Rebel, and in a way that makes much more sense, at least for manual shooting. But after two years of extensive (some might even say excessive) shooting with the Rebel, all that muscle memory needs to be reset. I need to stop entering the menu screen to try to change the ISO...
Francine was kind enough to take some photos with my SD1000 while I was playing (I'm still too nervous to let anyone else hold the 40d), and she also shot video of the new instrumental song that we've been working on. So I'll post that, hopefully tomorrow, after I get a couple hours of sleep.
I'm beat. Off to bed. Now.
