After checking out all your pics, this means a lot coming from you. Thanks.

Another one of my Son at his School concert - this one
taken using the Sigma 70 - 300 @ 180mm
50th sec, (held steady) f4.5, ISO1250
Here he's playing the Baritone Sax
Again, Custom WB using a scrap of white paper, no flash (mixed lighting - deep joy!!)
BTW - I reposted the previous shot as I had tried to resize the image at work and it ruined the sharpness - I think it looks much better now

& his favourite instrument - his 5 string Bass
This was particularly low light, and the band were moving around
quite a bit - but I got this moment on ISO1000 30th sec @135mm
(=200mm equiv) really held steady (no VR on the Sigma 70 - 300)
I am now considering a 28 - 200 bridging lens which I would use at
concerts such as this

I've got a ton of funny pictures of ole' John Boy here. I'll go through them tonight and maybe throw one or two up.
