Last Saturday I did two things for the first time which, when you get to my age, is quite unusual! I crossed genre (no, not 'gender') and photographed a great country musician in the attractive shape of Beth Nielsen Chapman, and I did it at the wonderful Anvil Theatre in Basingstoke - and what a pleasant experience it was on both counts. The Anvil is a great venue and I couldn't really believe that I had not been there before. They could not have made me more welcome (thanks Kim!) and rest assured it will not be my last visit. As for Beth Nielsen Chapman, well I have long enjoyed her music and I am sure she didn't disappoint her fans. For some reason I found the photography technically difficult (for those who know about these things, I was working with a 300mm equivalent Nikon lens at 1/50th at f2.8) but then that is what I am paid for. At the end of the day I got some good usable images and they are on my website in the Music gallery.
