We went to see Paloma Faith at the Apollo, Manchester, recently. It was nice to see her posting on Facebook, encouraging fans to shoot pictures and send them in. I noticed this at the last minute, so snatched up the Pentax Q with 5-15mm lens. On reflection, with a bit more time to think, I would have taken the Q adapter and the FA series 43mm f/1.9 lens - a "35mm-equivalent" of 236.5mm would have been perfect for some nice close ups. Sue did well with her Olympus XZ-1, which had a bit of pulling power and helped her get closer.

It was a terrific show, and at least I managed a few images that showed a bit of what went on. Here's a selection:

Next time I will be better prepared!
