Sharon Shannon and her band taking a final bow:

First concert attended at the wonderful Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow.  I had the Panasonic LX3 with me and although it has only 60mm equivalent focal length and our seat was a good bit away, I thought I’d test its low light capabilities. This was a dark hall, but the LX3 has f2.8 at the long end and I used ISO 800. That only gave between 1/10th and 1/15th of a second so serious sharpness was never likely, but capturing some atmosphere was my hope.
